This is typical of an unpatched version of the GUI. Try the BitTorrent RPMs at http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/bittorrent/ instead. You might also want to try gnome-btdownload instead of BitTorrent-gui and wxPythonGTK2; not only is it a much smaller download, IMHO it's a better GUI for BitTorrent.
For my money, nothing beats the Azureus Bittorrent client.
