With wicd-1.7.0-3.el7.x86_64 from atrpms on CentOS 7, I'm
getting

  # systemctl enable wicd.service
  wicd.service is not a native service, redirecting 
    to /sbin/chkconfig.
  Executing /sbin/chkconfig wicd on

which I guess is OK.  But then

  # systemctl start wicd

produces in wicd.log:

  ---------------------------

which isn't.
