dialog.* causes script error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a simple script that pops a dialog window:

#Enter script code
dialog.info_dialog("Test", "Hello, world!")

(Any other type of dialog causes error as well.)

2. Assign a hotkey or phrase to the script; I used a hotkey.

3. Save.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Script should pop a window with the given title and message.  Instead, no 
window pops and logging shows a script error (given below).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Autokey 0.90.4, KDE 4.8.5, Xubuntu 12.04

Please provide any additional information below.

If it has not been done already, a bug needs to be filed in Ubuntu or even 
better upstream Debian to add a Depends on that package.
