Amaya crashing upon start

[Carsten Agger]

amaya, a standards testbed HTML editor from W3C, is chrashing when I 
attempt to start it on Ubuntu Edgy (XFCE or Gnome).

Here's the output when attempting to run it in a terminal:
-----------------
agger at mahadev:~$ amaya --verbose
12:12:41: Deleted stale lock file '/home/agger/.amaya-agger'.
12:12:45: Warning: Mailcap file /etc/mailcap, line 87: incomplete entry 
ignored.

(amaya:8107): 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 5348 error_code 8 request_code 142 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.)

-----------------

Two points: First, his package is in universe, so there's probably no 
official Ubuntu support for it.'

Second, I believe that as a matter of principiple, packages in universe 
shouldn't be so broken that they crash when trying to start the program.

Anyone knows a fix or should I file a bug?
