system-config-lvm crash -- broken pipe?

[Andrew Frank]

on a fresh installed mint 15 cinamon i installed system-config-lvm from ubuntu (twice and on two computers). i have reliably the crash with the following report (when running in a terminal to see what is going on).
please fix - it is a show stopper! (i go back to ubuntu - sorry, next year i will try again)
thank you for the efforts!

The program 'system-config-lvm.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 7328 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
