This error is related to a pull request I opened before the
stdenv-updates merge, but which I hadn't tested with wicd. I updated
pygobject to 2.28 to fix an error in MyPaint. I didn't notice that
this release of pygobject moved the gobject folder, hence the import
error.

I think I've fixed the PYTHONPATH which is set in the wicd expression
so that the wicd tools can now import gobject successfully, however,
it's still not working. I've added a ticket to keep track of it:
