Actually it might be gnome-python doing that. Since 2.16, when you do gnome.program_init(...) it looks at sys.argv[0] and calls prctl (or some BSD equivalent) to change the "process name". This was a hack stolen from precisely that glob entry. But I really don't understand why on earth would argv[0] be "-c". In any case, modifying sys.argv[0] should be pretty safe... unless done at some arbitrary point during application run time; better do it only once at startup. Another option is to pass an alternative argv to gnome.program_init() (4th parameter). -- Gustavo J. A. M.
