Same problem here: me-tv 1.4.0.10 (about dialog)=1.4.0-0~39~precise1 (deb package from ppa) under xubuntu (Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS)
I think it's important to mention there are two other bug reports: Bug 459337 looks like a duplicate to this, but it is marked as a duplicate to Bug 428884 which seems to be too specific to gnome
