Ubuntu – How to get the Wicd manager to appear in the system tray

appletnetwork-managerunitywicdwireless

I have a Lenovo S12 (Intel Atom) on which network Manager does not work.

I have replaced it with wicd, and accepted work·around.

With the traditioanl Gnome, the wicd connection would appear in the system tray on the panel.

It is not showing on Unity (11.10). How do I get this to appear?

Apparently this is a limitation of the Unity design. See this bug report.
