Gajim jabber-client must run non-root

Forum member libertas reported a problem with running Gajim:

Some apps must be run non-root. I have modified script /usr/local/petget/installpreview.sh, inserted this at line 800:

        gajim) ASKflg=0; RETASK='nonroot'; ;; #20260615

...so when install, it won't ask if you want to run the app as root or non-root, it will install to run as user "gajim".

Interesting, the package does not have a .desktop file, so nothing appears in the menu. But during install there is offer to create a desktop icon, which I did.

Here is the Gajim homepage:

During installation, there is a report that package 'python3-importlib-metadata' is missing. Hmmm, yes, 'apt' failed to install it, but PKGget does checking after installation and discovered the missing dependency. The absence of that package didn't stop Gajim from running. But anyway, I went into PKGget and installed it.
