Gnome-chess dialog that informs user that Python OpenGL support is not installed is scary and hard to understand for beginners

A couple of ways in which this bug could be fixed, not mutually exclusive:
* Make gnome-chess Recommend the appropriate packages. (This might affect whether gnome-chess can ship by default.)
* Use a mechanism equivalent to the codec finder (PackageKit?) to install the appropriate packages on the fly.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- Not a papercut, gnome-chess is not part of the default install
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

I could not reproduce this with Ubuntu 12.04.x/Precise or 13.04/Raring. Since glchess/gnome-chess 3.x has been rewritten to use Vala and C instead of python, the python-opengl package is no longer required. I think it's safe to close this bug as Fixed Released since 10.04/Lucid will be EOL very soon.
Thanks.
