This all works now, without running the clients as root! :)
I'm not sure which change in my configuration made things start working.

* I added my user to the 'netdev' group in my os-configuration for the
  first time, whereas earlier I simply edited /etc/group by hand and
  rebooted.

* I just added Ludovic's new suggested 'name-service-switch'
  configuration with nss-mdns support.

* I'm now running on current 'master', and there have been some changes
  there since my earlier testing.

I was pleased to discover that our xfce already includes a panel applet
to configure wicd

And this is working as well, although it seems unable to find some of
the icons.  Anyway, it's a step in the right direction :)

     Enjoy!
