Hello Volodya,

AFAIK this bug is very similar to bug 1182783 and is fixed in the latest version of gtkg. You may want to install 1.0.1 by compiling from source or by using this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~zapman/+archive/gtkg and see if the problem still occurs.

Besides, gtkg 1.0.1 has been uploaded to Trusty so when it's released updating to the latest Ubuntu should fix the problem for current Saucy users.
