Go to the up to date Post!
Since the current AutoKey Version shipped with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Lucid Lynx is an outdated one, i found an easy way to get a newer one through the PPA of Chris Dekter from the AutoKey Project.
If you are not so familiar with installing through PPA i made a set of install scripts. You can also easy switch the theme icons i mentioned earlier.

Make sure you remove any installed autokey packages before you install the PPA Version!
Do not forget to restart AutoKey after you made any changes.
