Hi Jiff,

we here at the Debian Bug Squashing Party currently taking place at the 
Linuxhotel in Essen, Germany tried to replicate your bug.

We are *not* seeing the issue when calling "iceape" on a regular user's 
shell.
"which iceape", in our case, returns "/usr/bin/iceape" (which is a shell 
script).

However, we *are* seeing your issue when calling 
"/usr/lib/iceape/iceape-bin" directly. That fails with exactly the error 
message you provided.

My guess is that you have a symlink iceape -> /usr/lib/iceape/iceape-bin 
somewhere in your path that gets executed instead of /usr/bin/iceape.

Could you please check the output of "which iceape" on your system, and 
tell us the content of your PATH ("echo $PATH")?

Kind Regards,
Stefan
