I have also never been able to try out the new gtk2 interface.  When I 
try to get the GUI interface from a menu, nothing happens -- not even an 
error message in a log file.  When I try from an X terminal, I get the 
text interface instead of the GUI interface.

I believe this is a known bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524857

I'm waiting for this bug to be closed, and the next release of 
'reportbug' after than, before pursuing this problem further.  I'm so 
used to using the text interface, anyway, that merely consider the 
situation annoying.
