There is a serious bug somewhere between spatialite-gui and the new wxgtk-3.0. This has rendered spatialite-gui nearly unusable. It crashes any time you try to load a shapefile; typing into the sql window is sporadic and unreliable. In short - a "show stopper".  This has been discussed pretty thoroughly a month ago on the spatialite-users maillist:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spatialite-users/p0AfZ23u-yY

The version of spatialite-gui that is available from the standard Ubuntu repos is still (luckily) based on wxgtk-2.8 and works fine. But when you enable ubuntugis-testing you get a replacement, buggy spatialite-gui compiled against wxgtk-3.0.

The version in our osgeolive ppa is this bug-ridden version. Can this get replaced with the older package from standard ubuntu (or just removed entirely, then the install script should just find the older deb from ubuntu)?
 
I will try to keep an eye on the ubuntugis packaging, and wait for a stable version with wxgtk-3.0.2 or so.

Thanks,
Micha
