What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a script that contains a while true loop
2. Make a script that stops said loop
3. Run both scripts

The gtk version works correctly but the program always freezes after running 
the scripts

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.90.4 Linux Mint 17 x64 Cinnamon

Please provide any additional information below.

Script 1:
# Enter script code
import time
if clipboard.get_clipboard() == "stop":
    clipboard.fill_clipboard("dontstop")
while True:
    mouse.click_absolute(285,449,1)
    time.sleep(0.25)
    if clipboard.get_clipboard() == "stop":
        break

Script 2:

It was the clipboard that crashed it, solved it by using the solution found in 
issue 208 suggested by Paul and Ranju:

in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/scripting.py, change the following:

* Change this line in GtkClipboard's __fillSelection():
        self.selection.set_text(string.encode("utf-8"))
  to this:
        self.selection.set_text(string.encode("utf-8"), -1)

* Change this line in GtkClipboard's fill_clipboard():
        self.clipBoard.set_text(contents.encode("utf-8"))
  to this:
        self.clipBoard.set_text(contents.encode("utf-8"), -1)
