Wicd - Run as root, needs root access - every login[SOLVED]

heya,

I'm using Wicd to manage my ethernet/wireless connections.

I've started up the wicd-client, and it's running in the system tray fine.

However, when I reboot and log back in, KDE by default attempts to restore the last session, hence it starts up Wicd. Wicd then pops up a message box saying:

Run as root - Wicd needs to access your computer's network cards.

The action you requested needs root access. Please enter root's password below or click Ignore to continue with your current privileges.

Command /usr/sbin/wicd
Password:

Remember password

This happens every login. Also, even if I tick the "Remember password" box, it still prompts for the password on the next login. Surely there's a way to make it so that Wicd won't actually need the root password to work? Or a way to get the "Remember password" box to work?

Thanks,
Victor

Is wicd added to your rc.conf?
