Hi Ian, 

I looked at http://www.glom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download which
mentioned the ppa url:
https://launchpad.net/~openismus-team/+archive/ppa

It would seem that the glom ppa has no support for maverick yet. 
Assuming you're not a maverick yet (you mentioned kubuntu 10.04), this
is all I had to do to add the repository, and install glom.
Drop to the terminal prompt and enter the following:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:openismus-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install glom

The apt-add-repository line resulted in the following output
        Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options
        --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg
        --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg
        --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
        --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver

Lucid (10.04) has glom 1.13.2-0ubuntu1 (which is not as up to date as
the ppa 1.14.6).

I can't really comment on your result with Mint. The above was done on a
stock gnome ubuntu install.
