I can confirm this and sexy-python is the newest version available. I attached the error report I got, but the name had /usr/bin before it.

I forgot to say that sometimes you can access once a section.

I tested a little bit more and I found out that gimmie only crashes when you're clicking on the people button.

I reported a crash in Gimmie here as well: Bug 103158

I wish I could have added it and the crash logs to this report, but I'm not sure how to do that automatically with apport.

Generally I have no problem accessing any of the individual sections of gimmie. I can however, cause a crash repeatedly by right-clicking on the "Linux" section of the gimmie panel. Running from with a commandline I have captured the standard output and obtained an strace dump of the execution. I also ran gimmie directly under python with the debug option set. I have attached the files to this post.

Gimmie hung up the computer then crashed when I clicked on the Programs tab.
I'm using Gutsy.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
