I'm a perl web developer who's been using Padre for about a year and have 
become very dependent on its features.  However, I'm finding it hard to find a 
stable combination of Padre + Linux, and would appreciate recommendations.

I ran OpenSuse 11.3 for a long time; Padre had to be force installed because of 
problems with Wx.  Despite occasional crashes, it was stable enough to use.

I recently built a new machine and first tried OpenSuse 12.2.  What I 
discovered was that I kept getting C compiling errors when I tried to install 
the Perl Wx classes, so there was no way to get Padre to run at all, even 
though the Wx libraries are part of that distribution.

I ended up installing Kubuntu 12.04, since that the stable release and includes 
a Padre 0.90 package.  Foolishly, I upgraded to the latest 0.96 version via 
CPAN.  Now I'm getting frequent crashes that say:



(padre:9997): LIBDBUSMENU-GTK-CRITICAL **: watch_submenu: assertion 
`GTK_IS_MENU_SHELL(menu)' failed


Googling around, this seems to be due to some change Ubuntu made to GTK for 
their Unity desktop (even though I'm using KDE4).  So is there an recommended 
Linux distribution where the Wx stuff + Padre is known to be pretty stable? 


Thanks for any input,

Dan
