wicd-client is just a wrapper, you're effectively running wicd-gtk both times.

This is the same as #588205 / #569755 / #588311 . If you're using Xfce, that
is, or a "non-1.1-compliant" notification daemon (e.g. Xfce, see those bugs).

..and this is why I'm downgrading the severity :)

Also, merging the bug with #569755, as the real bug is wicd crashing just
because of notifications failing.

I have my last university exam on Monday, I plan to work on wicd and "fix" this
bug only after then (i.e. just barf in console and not crash).

Sorry for the delay :/

Kindly,
David
