There is an upstream wishlist bug respective blueprint to do this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/wicd/+bug/878417

But it's from 2011 from the previous upstream maintainer. It's a start
though for anyone who'll try to do that, as there's an incomplete
patch already included.

If nobody steps up to finish the porting, there is (not so nice) plan B: disable
wicd-gtk and leave wicd-curses (more buggy than it should be, but
usable) and wicd-cli.
