Amaya crashes on Gtk

Hi,
I've check the open bug reports and could not see this bug.

I installed Amaya on Ubuntu 7.10 via the Synaptic Package Manager.

Running Amaya very briefly brings up a window which disappears immediately.

Running Amaya from a console generates this message:

----------------------------------------------------------
$ amaya
14:02:07: Deleted stale lock file '/home/homer/.amaya-homer'.

(amaya:708): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_colormap: assertion 
`!GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED (widget)' failed
The program 'amaya' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 6977 error_code 8 request_code 158 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
