if it's the behaviour you want, just disable keppalive packets. In Gajim 
it's not what we want. Because in your case if connection is really 
brocken, it takes about 10minutes to be detected. TCP tries to re-send 
packets during about 10-15 minutes, then it tells higher level layer 
that conenction is brocken. In Gajim we want to be aware that connection 
is brocken before 15 minutes.
