dhcpcd-gtk relies on wpa_supplicant(8) being configured to write its
sockets to /var/run/wpa_supplicant. If dhcpcd-gtk is used to select
and set pass phrases for wireless networks then update_config=1 needs
to be set in wpa_supplicant.conf.

In https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/dhcpcd-gtk/dhcpcd-gtk.8.en.html

This is stated in the package manual and would that be what you want?
I also mentioned during testing that I was able to use this package
(as well as connect to networks normally) and these tests have been
around for a while and I will try to reproduce them as soon as I have
free time.

First, I would have to reproduce your problem and when I have used
this package in the past I have had no problems with it which is what
I mentioned.
Don't worry, I was taking care of other things and I should look into
this, but upstream, when I looked at the issues, nothing came up about
it and if he does something to correct it, a git cherry pick[1] might
be done until he releases a new version.
