There used to be a similar bug in version 0.13 (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1623900&group_id=10350&atid=110350) but that one should be fixed in 0.14 according to upstream. I have opened a bug upstream (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3023796&group_id=10350&atid=110350) but not received any response yet. For reference, this breaks any python application which might use python-xlib e.g. for displaying a status icon such a gmixer.
