GCrontab is a GTK 1.2 application, and GTK 1.2 has been removed from Karmic. So, GCrontab either needs to be ported to GTK 2 or it'll be removed from the repositories.

There's an initial patch for the porting available at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515275, but I couldn't get it to build.
