hmmmm....
I have KDE 3.5.11 "Trinity" running in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
on my netbook and wicd works Just Fine here -- both for
wireless and wired connections

Did you check the wicd log (and/or click "ON" diagnostics somewhere down
inside wicd)?  I forget where the log is located, but `locate wicd.log`
should find it.
