Bug Description

Whenever I make a new glabels document (such as a business card) and use the text tool to enter a text, glabels allows me in so far as placing the text box and resizing it, but not to enter any text inside it. Furthermore, the text tool options seem to disappear when I try to access them.

Under some instances, glabels crashes when I try to brute-force entering the text inside the text box. Either that, or I give up (and try my luck using OpenOffice).

We should just push the Breezy version into Backports. It builds and works nicely.

I've tried with the current package (2.0.2-3) and it now works. I can finally work on those business cards :))

Many cheers to the MOTUs!

Sorry for bringing bad news.
I'm using Breezy with glabels 2.0.2-3 and I still have the issue mentionned above...

May be there is an external dependency, which solves the issue (I read some stuff about support for accessibility... atk...)
