I found out this pretty tool for configuring WiFi networks and I would like to use the DHCPCD-GTK with Debian 9. I have installed Openbox GUI and tint2 panel.

When I start the dhcpcd-gtk, the tray icon appears. When I move over it with mouse tooltip, the information about eth0 and wlan0 connected is displayed. When pressing the right button the Preferences menu appears. But nothing happens when pressing the left button on the icon. No list of discovered WiFi networks is shown.

There is no error log or any other information that would help me to resolve this problem.

Do you have any idea what is the problem?

Sounds like dhcpcd-ui can't talk to wpa_supplicant.
Is wpa_supplicant running? And it's is ctrl socket available to talk to?
The socket should be found in /var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0
