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.

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