A recent lirc package had another change that broke gnome-lirc-properties' support for the popular Snapstream Meda Firefly receiver. I strongly suggest that you upgrade to fix these problems, caused by the lirc package. It seems risk free.

Here is the full list of changes from the NEWS file:

0.2.7:

* Try to restart the key listener when it fails. This seems to happen sometimes,
  and the restart is usually successful.
  (Mathias Hasselmann) Bug #529909
* Ask for PolicyKit authorization before rewriting a broken configurations at
  startup.
* Support the Snapstream Firefly even when it is called "Snapstream Firefly"
  instead of "Snapstream_Firefly_R1000" in the configuration files, because
  this seems to have changed in debian/ubuntu's lirc package.
* Fix a crash at startup when the configured remote control's name is no longer
  in the lirc configuration files in the lirc package.
  (Murray Cumming) Bug #529854.
* Do not lose vendor, model and contributor names when re-opening custom
  configuration.
  (Murray Cumming) Bug #530504.
* Improve error handling with upload and update.
  (Murray Cumming) Bug #529853 and Bug #529903
* Use bug-buddy.
  (Bastien Nocera) Bug #530360
* Improve keyboard mnemonics
  (Murray Cumming) Bug #530349 (Wouter Bolsterlee).
* Improved strings for translators.
