I see that version 1:0.5-3.1 is available in Ubuntu Utopic, which includes a fix for this issue. The normal procedure when a fix for significant bugs exists in a newer release, is to follow the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention in order to get the fix into current releases as well.
So before starting that, I thought I'd check with Ubuntu Utopic, but ran into bug 1377662. I'm somewhat hesitant to suggest solving this based on a version which doesn't seem to start either. Has anyone else encountered this, especially those who have applied the patch themselves. It looks possibly unrelated, but hard to say for sure.
