Description Tim Lee 2006-08-31 20:10:32 UTC 
Same as bug #353719, the sniff script has the icon and glade file paths  hard coded in the script, which causes problems when you install into a different prefix. I used the same work around as in #353719. An other options might be to use  a conf file that was created with the correct paths at build time.

Thanks for the report, and the fix. I modified it very slightly, and committed it:

try:
    x = gtk.glade.XML('sniff.glade')
except RuntimeError:
    import sys
    exec_root = sys.argv[0].split("/bin/")[0]
    if exec_root[0] is not '/':
        exec_root = "/usr"
    x = gtk.glade.XML(exec_root + '/share/dogtail/glade/sniff.glade')
