I was using wicd-gtk to connect to networks but for some reason it doesn't connect me to some networks and NetworkManager seems to be working fine.
How can I launch GUI version of NetworkManager if I am not using Unity but DWM?
I am using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.

Provided that your system includes the network-manager-gnome package (and its dependencies), you should be able to run NetworkManager's GUI connection editor from the command line using
nm-connection-editorYou can attempt to start the GUI desktop applet as nm-applet, however it may not be able to interact with / dock within a simple WM.
You need a system tray for the tray icon you want (nm-applet), which DWM doesn't provide by default. Their are a number of stand-alone tray programs for light weight window managers like DWM. You could try the venerable stalonetray or systray, the latter of which is by the same author as DWM.
