This is a really _fast_ response!!! Many thanks.

On ubuntu:

apt-get install clisp
apt-get remove gcl

now it works with the already installed wxmaxima (which depends from the
buggy maxima ubuntu package that I left unused).

I write it here in this list in the hope that could be useful to some other
"ubuntero" :-)
