I don't know if this is due to a different version of Wicd that I downloaded after I reinstalled arch or not, but it's a very strange problem. If I have both wicd and network in my daemons line and etho enabled, Wicd can connect to the wired internet at boot. However, if I disconnect the wired internet, I cannot connect to it again. The bar would just keep saying that it's connecting to the wired internet, but it never connects. Now, if I remove the network daemon and disable etho, I cannot even connect to wire at boot. Wicd will just keep trying to connect and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling Wicd and deleting the /usr/lib/wicd files and then reinstalling Wicd, but the problem is still there.

Why are you using wicd for your ethernet when the network daemon is the only one you need to use a wired connection? If you want the eth0 to only be configured when a cable is plugged in, try ifplugd:

That way it won't hang on trying to connect on eth0 at boot.

ok, I'll try this, but I still want to know why wicd worked perfectly before and now it won't. I don't think I did anything differently except installed fonts before installing xfce4 but I don't think that will affect wicd. I just don't get it.
Ok, things are good now that I stopped wicd from managing wire.
Edit: Actually, ifplugd makes things more difficult as it doesn't always work. I uninstalled it and the network daemon works automatically as soon as I plugged in my ethernet cable. However, I will not edit this thread as solved because I have no wireless around me right now so until I tried it out on a wireless connection, I will leave this thread as it is.
