Hi Fernando.
I'm on a different distro but experience the same issue, would be great
if we could share the solution.

To reproduce:
1) open the options menu
2) try to check one of the following options: "context-sensitive popup
menu", "effects menu", "include smtpe info"
3) You should get a popup with the mentioned error
