Then that will have to be tested - nothing else in the tree uses urwid so far as I know.
That said, I'll point out again that NM these days is head and shoulders above wicd IMHO. It has a functional curses UI, which is/was the main reason anyone would prefer wicd as far as I'm aware.
To that point, I wouldn't mind if Pat dropped Wicd and it went to SBo (I wouldn't mind maintaining it, although I usually use NetworkManager now).

I think I'm going to see about locking this thread and starting a new one again after the next public push.
I fixed the blackbox bug by removing the code that gives focus to the root window if no window has focus. The original code didn't look like it ever worked reliably (even with an added call to XSync). I haven't encountered any downsides to doing this.

I am not sure if this is the right forum for posting a blackbox patch. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

This is the output I get when running wicd in a lxc container of Slackware64 14.1. /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf is at default settings. I rebuilt wicd in the container and as well as urwid 1.3.1 from my SlackBuild.

Also, on a side note, Wicd 1.7.3 breaks when entering a new network in `wicd-curses`. I reported this to upstream but they have not rolled the fix in yet. Pat did not want to include the fix, as he thinks it *should* be handled by upstream (I agree).
You are correct. I rebuilt using -current build scripts and wicd-curses allows me to connect using the static IP in my lxc container. I amended my package uploads in the previous post if anyone wants to test with my packages.

ryanpcmcquen: same here :-)
I guess it's time to close this thread then since a new push is out.
With the new push mesa now has docs in the right path and get-mesa.sh also got updated
