This seems to be linked to uim, or at least a immodule. Commenting out everything in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules makes this work...
The problem was mentioned in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-print/+bug/31421 as well.
Comment forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-cups-manager/+bug/27355 Yes, all uim Packages in Breezy are compiled with --enable-debug. Just get the source package extract it and have a look in debian/rules. There you will see the --enable-debug flag is set. Just deleting this line and recompile will not only solve the problem with gnome-cups-manager but also some issues when gedit is crashing if opening a shell script. All chrashes related to an active uim will not occour when recompiled without --enable-debug flag!

Quoting the Ubuntu report https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-cups-manager/+bug/27355 > The problem was caused by the --enable-debug flag enabeld in uim_0.4.7. > Recompiling the uim-Package without --enable-debug flag solves the Problem. > So keep in mind NEVER compile uim with --enable-debug flag and everything > wents fine. > Yes, all uim Packages in Breezy are compiled with --enable-debug. [...] This is either an Ubuntu specific issue or a general UIM issue (well, probably both... ;) but this is not GNOME issue. Thanks for the link to launchpad!
