[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#880948: wicd: won't retain leading '+' char in pwd

[vanhemt]

Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The password for my network starts with a '+'.
Every time I restart wicd, I have to restore the char in Properties.
There's nothing else I have tried.
