Bug Description
I am trying to run latest moovida trunk on my laptop (Thinkpad R61, with an nvidia gfx card). I'm running Debian (unstable).
When i run moovida it just crash with this message:
The program 'elisa' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'GLXUnsupported
(Details: serial 3029 error_code 172 request_code 152 minor_code 16)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Segmentation fault
This is maybe caused by the fact I don't have installed the right drivers for my graphics card or have misconfigured xorg.conf in some way.
The point is, moovida should display a friendly message when this kind of stuff happens, instead of just crashing.
On windows, it already does that, but on Linux the experience needs to be improved.

On windows this is done in pigment, not in Moovida itself.
