[wxGlade] Certain toolbars crash wxPython apps on Ubuntu since today

[Stani]

It is indeed a bug in the ubuntu updates. The bug report is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969

It will be fixed by tomorrow. If you need wxpython to work right now, 
you can do for gutsy:
"For Gutsy, you can get the previous version from 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/xserver-xorg-core/2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8 
:

wget 
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9590664/xserver-xorg-core_1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8_i386.deb
dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8_i386.deb

Then stop and start X :)"
