I'd be glad if someone confirmed the bug so that it could be forwarded
upstream.

Bug description:
LottaNZB cannot be launched on an up-to-date Lucid machine because of a bug in PyGTK (or something more low-level). I tracked down the problem:

When loading a XML UI file using gtk.Builder, the 'name' property of widgets isn't set. Because of this, get_name() just returns a string containing the widget type (like GtkWindow). On the other hand, the 'name' property of 'gtk.Action' objects is properly set.

A test case is attached. Compare the output on a Karmic and a Lucid machine.

I'm pretty sure that LottaNZB worked about a week ago, when I initially installed Lucid. This means that the bug could have been introduced in a recent update of the pygtk package.
