Bug Description
Fresh install Ubuntu 14.10 (amd64)
Install KiCad through PPA (5221)

No dialog opens for choosing the component and the program freezes.
This seems to only happen in Unity.

I also have this bug, but for some reason it only happens with unity (so a workaround is to use openbox, metacity etc.). It also won't happen in my test VM and another PC (all ubuntu 14.10 64 bit). There is at least one more dialog that sometimes won't show (can't remember it right now).
So it looks like some weird WM problem. (I tried to debug it and the backtrace looks identical)
