This is known. Xiphos team is working on updating the application to
work in non-Xul, non-GTK2 situations.

For some reason either Debian or Ubuntu refuses to get the latest
BibleTime version. Try installing a version that is not 18 months or
so old. :)  You can add the PPA for Crosswire and that should contain
at least a BT 2.8.0, possibly 2.8.1 version.  I'm guessing that this
problem has been fixed in the intervening time.
