Pybliographer unusable with latest Mandrake

I'm not able to insert anymore a citation into lyx : a working
bibliography and workstation stopped working since last update on latest
Mandrakelinux installation. I'm posting a bug, but you may know a
workaround ?

** At launch time

[stephane@bioinfo Redaction]$ pybliographic
This is Pybliographic 1.2.4 [Python 2.3.4, Gtk 2.4.9, PyGTK 2.3.96]
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:90:
GtkDeprecationWarni                                     ng:
gtk.mainiteration is deprecated, use gtk.main_iteration instead
  self.warn(message, DeprecationWarning)
/usr/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Document.py:153:
DeprecationWarning: use
gtk.UIManager
  factory = gtk.ItemFactory (gtk.Menu, '<main>', None)

** Loading the DB :


/usr/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh generated file

sG/toutes_courbes8740vLfb7I.ppm" successfully.
/usr/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/FileSelector.py:82:
DeprecationWarning:                                      use

  self.menu = gtk.OptionMenu ()

** While trying to cite into lyx :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/goetz/tmp/pybliographer-1.2.4-
buildroot/usr/share/pybliographer/Py
blio/GnomeUI/Document.py", line 717, in lyx_cite
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'decode'

It seems there is a problem with unicode.
Can you confirm the bug, and possibly tell me how to fix it (either
quick and dirty or more clean ...).

Thanks a lot in advance,

Stef
