After the last update "wicd-client" is not getting started as normal user. It gives the following error.

When I run as root, "sudo wicd-client" it works. It used to work fine with a normal user. Is there a way to fix it?
wicd daemon is running correctly. Here is the output from ps aux | grep wicd.

It looks like the notification daemon on your system is not working. Please check the permissions or you can run wicd-client with a switch to disable notifications, I think (I don't remember what it is off the top of my head and I can't check but you can use --help to find it -- I'm not 100% sure it exists but I think it does)
