Comment 3 for bug 377044

This bug does not happen if SPE is run with wxPython 2.8, so it is related to wxpython 2.6. There are four issues which need to be tackled:

1) SPE seems to depend on wxPython 2.6 because of kiki. I'll try to change that. This is because of Debian

2) Unfortunately when both wxpython 2.6 and 2.8 are installed, Ubuntu gives the preference to 2.6
$ python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:58:18)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
>>> wx.VERSION
(2, 6, 3, 2, '')

3) SPE should choose to use wxPython 2.8

4) SPE should still be able to use wxPython 2.6 for debian, unless debian has now full support for wxpython 2.8
