When gajim tries to automatically switch my status to away because of me being idle, it errors out with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

After that it doesn't change status to away; stays online.

• My presence is gpg-signed.
• My auto-away status message: $S (Zaraz wracam z powodu braku aktywności przez $T min.) (default gajim autoaway message in polish)
• I didn't change it between versions; it worked ok with 0.16.7
  
  
• OS: Arch Linux
• Python: 2.7.13
• Gajim: 0.16.8
• GTK+: 2.24.31
• PyGTK: 2.24.0
• gpg (GnuPG) 2.1.21
• python2-gnupg 0.4.0
• LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8

The only different thing since it was working is the gajim's version.
