Description of problem:
Wicd go through a bunch of errors then crash.  I have to open an terminal every time just to connect.  How can I make it perminant?  After entering commands in the terminal I can logout then login is perfect but every time I reboot I get python errors and dbus error.  Is there a solution to stop this?  Is it best to create a script to handle connections.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from using the 'fowner' capabilities.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that python2.7 should have the fowner capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep wicd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
