so i'm only assuming, but this must have something to do with GTK3?

[David Steele (daves)]

The glade module is provided by the python-glade2 package. A depency has been added for v1.8.

[David Steele (daves)]

1.8 works with Oneiric, with universe enabled.

Someone should mention in a Software Center review that you have to set the preferred application in "System Info" (it crashed for me).
