I think that sounds like the same surface problem (the generic error
message), but take a look at the traceback in the description and a lot of
the duplicates; it seems very specific to Glipper. The reason I suggested
posting a new bug is that Apport (and triagers) can analyze the bug to see
whether it's a duplicate of this—or any other bug.

I also took a crash course in python the past few days, and glipper's

The traceback does. Right?
