[apport] displayconfig-gtk crashed with SystemError in getGamma()

[Jason Gorski]

Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk

This is most likely entirely due to the fact that I'm running in XGL. So, one needs to add a check for XGL before crashing...

---

Install, run
displayconfig-gtk

receive warning:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":1.0".

then crash on command line without any windows ever popping up:

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

we should not explode on a failed gamma detection

[Mircea Deaconu (mirceade)]

Confirming this on XGL.

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

I just committed a patch to the kde3 branch of guidance.

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

The patch for guidance.

[Nigel Cundy (nigel-cundy)]

Yes, I also had this problem in XGL.

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

The latest version of guidance in Gusty should not show this bug. Could you please test again?

Thanks
