    I have noticed the two wicd icons.
    For me it was caused when I enabled wicd and xdg autostart in ~/.desktop-session/desktop-session.conf. Likely as you are having the other desktops popup window you have installed a window manager (OR DE?) that supports xdg autostart. Wicd then is starting with the xdg autostart file and via a conditional statement in ~/.desktop-session/startup.
    I commented out
    grep -q "START_DAEMON=no" /etc/default/wicd || wicd-client -t &
    and now there is only one icon.

    The other desktops popup window was buggy (perhaps still is) but a “fixed” version should be available as an update in the repo.

    In your file manager under your user home, enable show hidden files.
    open the “.desktop-session” directory
    edit the “startup” file.
    Comment Out: (put # in front of the line)
    grep -q "START_DAEMON=no" /etc/default/wicd || wicd-client -t &
    Save and close

    In terminal as your user,
    type: cd ~/.desktop-session/
    type: nano startup
    Comment Out: (put # in front of the line)
    grep -q "START_DAEMON=no" /etc/default/wicd || wicd-client -t &
    press: Control X to save
    close terminal.

    Are you using xfce?

    antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

    Well, you could have told us that in your first post. That would have made solving your issue much easier and faster.
