This should have been fixed by python-urwid release 0.9.9.1-1 (in Lucid). Is it still an issue?

I no longer have a copy of Lucid I can test from.

Just wanted to report that I tested this command (speedometer -tx eth0 -rx eth0) on 10.04.3 LTS and everything worked fine.
speedometer: version 2.6-2

Fixed in 2.6-2. See releases http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/speedometer.html
