Hi,

This is our command system. All messages starting with a / are
considered as a command. Gajim doesn't think it's a file on your system,
it thinks it's a command. (type /help -a to see a list of available
commands)

There is no way to disable that. you just need to double the first / if
your message starts with a /.
