I keep on getting this error:
/usr/bin/wibom-gtk:476: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
/usr/bin/wibom-gtk:476: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
/usr/bin/wibom-gtk:476: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ')'
...ript wine_colors_from_gtk.py © Endolith (GPL)")
Why? What's going on? I don't quite understand why this keeps happening. The suggested repo for this is down, as is getdeb, so I got this from dotsec's Ubuntu Quantal mirror. Failure happens on Ubuntu Precise, Ubuntu Quantal and Mint derivatives.
wibom-gtk from getdeb, dotsec Quantal repo
Got the same error, even with the getdeb or wibom-ubuntu...
Try to purge and reinstall, even went overwrite:

I believe this is related to Ruby, as Wibom was originally developed for Ruby 1.8. Unfortunately, I don't use Wine any more, so maintaining Wibom is no longer priority for me. I believe it would need mayor refactoring. Try installing Ruby 1.8 and running ruby with it.
Had the same problem on debian wheezy 64 bits, quite a fresh install, and coming from ubuntu lucid where wibom worked perfectly.
It seems a matter of encoding format -->(us-ACII) --> (utf-8)
Editing
/usr/bin/wibom-gtk
and adding this in the second line (just after #!/usr/bin/ruby)
# encoding: utf-8
Made it work!
