[Stackless] Ubuntu installation problem

Hello,

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.

I built and installed Stackless with the default settings. This gave me 
a stackless python installation in /usr/local/bin/python, but still the 
original at /usr/bin/python.

This is fine with me, but has seen a small problem with my system. For 
some reason, the system is using the stackless version to run its 
utilities like system-config-printer-gnome

This causes it to get confused (the python path is wrong).

How can I tell my system to use the default installation at /usr/bin/python?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards

Simon
