Bug Description
On Natty, with $DISPLAY not set, and running under ssh and screen:
[3] mbp@grace% python
Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Mar 24 2011, 00:37:39)
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from launchpadlib.
>>> lp = Launchpad.
: cannot connect to X server
[3] mbp@grace%
I was expecting it to either start w3m or lynx, or to print a url I could open on another machine.
Notice also that it seems to have abruptly terminated Python. I see the same thing within hydrazine. That's a bit evil.

ok, strace seems to show that this is coming from within pyqt4 trying to connect to its keyring. istr we saw something similar previously, maybe in bzr?
