I am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (AMD64) and this is still a problem. The command just flat does not work. If I use gksudo I get the above result, like the OP. If I try as a normal user I get: ... a different error. (apport would not let me copy and paste, and would not come up again so I could even see the error to show you. This is with a freshly installed package, version 1.5.1-6 I will try and get some better info. When I initially ran the program I did not have debug symbols installed, because there is no package named after this one that has those symbols. (turns out it is in libgpds-dbg - a very nonintuitive name indeed). With this bug not fixed I don't get why we are even using this. It doesn't work. It crashes on launch. Why would we leave this unfixed for years if we're distributing it? It's kind of annoying too because there is now no longer a way to emulate middle mouse buttons since that is not an option in the current preferences program.
