It might work, but that's not the right place to stop a connection. Just FYI, the appropriate place should be at the end of main(), just before the DaemonClosing signal is emit. Besides that, I don't consider this to be a bug. Rather, I consider it a feature -- being able to replace/restart/... wicd while still keeping a connection alive. I have thought about doing so since its filing, but I just wanted to think more about it, and now it comes: I'm downgrading this bug's severity. I do understand KiBi's reasons -- even though I *do* *not* consider his wording appropriate or fair at all -- and I could consider adding a separate command-line option to the daemon (to keep the connection alive) and changing the current default. But this surely is _not_ RC IMHO. Kindly, David -- . ''`.
