Oh… I realized my error when I looked at this bug last night. When you wrote, I 
did a quick check and thought there was some error.

There's no error -- you have to create the isosurface from the cube first. In 
early versions of Avogadro (0.8, for example) the display type would create 
isosurfaces itself. This lead to all sorts of bad crashes due to race 
conditions.

What I think we need to do going forward, is to have the display types 
enable/disable themselves depending on the data available. I think many people 
make this error.

So to visualize your cubes (BTW, Avogadro also reads .cube.gz files), open the 
file, go to the Extensions -> Create Surfaces command, pick the options you 
want:
http://avogadro.openmolecules.net/wiki/Create_Surfaces

Then you'll see the isosurfaces!

Hope that helps and sorry for the long delay!
