Package: glabels
Version: 2.0.2-3
Followup-For: Bug #296846

 I am experiencing the problem with the text object sidebar editor not
 appearing except momentarily on two 'testing' machines here. I upgraded
 both to the latest 2.0.2 which allegedly fixes the problem, but both
 machines still suffer from it. It makes glabels nearly useless
 (especially for mailmerging as there is no way to discover how to
 insert a field with this bit of the UI missing), until you discover
 that if you tear off this sidebar so it displays elsewhere on the
 screen then it becomes properly visible again.

 So, it's not as simple as 'fixed in 2.0.2'. perhaps something else
 needs to be upgraded too (gtk?). I am happy to help with debugging if
 someone suggests what I should check.
