I thought the same thing and tried that but it didn't end up working.
The good news is I got it working by doing this in /etc/conf.d/net:

modules="!wpa_supplicant"
ssid_wlan0="SSID"
key_SSID="s:PASSWORD enc open"

I couldn't get wpa_supplicant working either but maybe I didn't take
enough time with the config.  I guess this was a wicd bug?  I love it
when working on something all day long actually pays off.
