I already opened a ticket for this once:
http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/3463

Which reminds me of the problem:
"sys.executable returns /usr/local/bin/gajim here, even if I run it from
svn (so by running launsh.sh)"

At least asterix said so, is this still true?
If so, then I guess you need to revert that patch again :-(

Personally I can't think of a way to do that...
Perhaps somebody else on this list does?

I see. Well it's not that important for me. Using ps for this task isn't
that hard, too. ;-)
