Beh -- but thanks for reporting it!

I changed it (reluctantly) from #!/user/bin/python to what you see now
by Jack's request, basically so the same interpreter is used for
bootstrapping and running the applet (if it's a standalone app we use
/usr/bin/python). It seems a micro optimization that caused more trouble
than it's worth. Unless I get some more arguments for using an improved
readlink approach, I'll go back to hardcoding it again, or possibly
using #!/usr/bin/env python.
