Latest update (0.14.1-1ubuntu1.1) broke execution of external commands (including sounds)

[Alexey Zhukov]

With last update in Oneiric (0.14.1-1ubuntu1.1), Gajim fails to execute external commands. This blocks sending messages, because when sending a message and Gajim wants to play a sound and calls `aplay`. Then, an error dialog pops up and due to exception, while message is technically sent, it does not appear in chat log, nor disappear from the text entry.

Bug happens on line 387 of src/common/helpers.py, in call `gajim.thread_interface(p.wait)`. ThreadInterface requires 4 parameters, but receives only 1 (excluding implicit `self`).

This is probably because a patch to `exec_command` was backported, but not tested. In more recent versions, ThreadInterface.__init__ declaration differs, allowing to omit arguments, but in 0.14.1 it did not allow so.
