I also see the following in dmesg:
python[3371]: segfault at 8 ip 0151ea04 sp bfd9db7c error 4 in libcairo.so.2.11000.2[14d4000+c7000]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same problem in Kubuntu 11.04.
This forum shows a workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8538492
Starting wxglade as root! This works for me, but of course, this is not a preferable solution.

The current version 0.7.0-2 does not trigger this bug anymore
