Autokey on Xubuntu?

[Johnny Rosenberg]

Tried to install AutoKey (GTK version) on Xubuntu 12.04 from the
official PPA. It starts, the icon is there, but my phrases doesn't
work. No text expansion at all.
Also, it seems like I can no longer select which interface to use
(evdev, Xrecord and whatever the third one was).

Are there any special tricks to make AutoKey work in XFCE, or any
common reasons why it should not work?

Seems like it works when recently started, then as soon as I use a
phrase which expands without a trigger character, the abbreviation is
erased but not replaced by the phrase. After that no abbreviations are
expanded at all, until stopping and restarting Autokey.

autokey-gtk -l produced these error messages when trying to expand an
abbreviation that doesn't require a trigger character:

Another detail, is that I run Autokey (also GTK version) without any
problems on another computer, and I synchronize my
~/.config/Autokey/Data folders between the two computers. Could that
be a problem? And the both computers run different versions of
Autokey, for some reason: The one in Ubuntu 10.10 runs the 0.82
version, the Xubuntu 12.04 runs the 0.91 version.

Need more information? Just tell me, and I'll provide it, if I can…
