Bug#860523: python-dogtail: /bin/sniff fails to start on a merged-/usr system

[intrigeri@debian.org]

Package: python-dogtail
Version: 0.9.9-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

I have usrmerge installed so sniff will be started from /bin/sniff
by default. It fails like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/sniff", line 783, in <module>
    main()
  File "/bin/sniff", line 780, in main
    sniff = SniffApp()
  File "/bin/sniff", line 65, in __init__
    self.app.set_icon_from_file(os.path.join(path, 'share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/dogtail-head.svg'))
Error: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file '/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/dogtail-head.svg': No such file or directory (4)

But starting /usr/bin/sniff explicitly works.

It looks like sniff is assuming too much wrt. the location of icons
relatively to the location of the executable.
