Wicd stopped working - (DBus problem at all?)

Hi,
today I have turned my laptop on and discovered, that I am not able to connect to wireless network. Wicd started to complain about DBus connection. Everything looks like this: I turn on computer, Slim logs me in, Wicd starts to connect to wireless network. After few seconds Wicd dies. When I try to start it again, it complains about DBus connection. So I have to "systemctl stop wicd" and run the daemon by "sudo wicd". Now, I am able to connect to wireless network via Wicd, but after few minutes Wicd dies again.
Other problem - udiskie. When I plug in flash drive, nothing happens. When I run udiskie from console, no output is given - simply nothing. It seems like a problem with DBus at all to me. Do you have any ideas, how to fix it?

Wicd: version 1.7.2.4-5

I have tried to completly remove wicd from my system, but without success.

Last time I have been bitten by this, I have reinstalled my Arch - now I would like to avoid it, if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Wicd stopped working - (DBus problem at all?)

Hi. I've been getting this error too, and saw your post. So I looked at the wicd wiki page...

Have a look at this:
