Comment 21 for bug 76501

This is my first StableReleaseUpdate Proposal for Gutsy:
1. statement explaining the impact:
  xawtv will not start up due to shell script syntax error (For end users this
  as serious as a segfault on startup in a binary application), if the system
  in question is equipped with a NVidia graphics card and driver.
  NVidia graphics cards are widespread, so many users are effected.
  Without this patch the program is unuable on Gutsy with a NVidia.
2. how the bug has been addressed:
  see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+bug/76501/comments/18
  or the description of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+bug/157547,
  where Luca Falavigna wrote:
  xawtv (3.95.dfsg.1-7) unstable; urgency=low
  * Applied Tim Connors's patch for xawtv wrapper (Closes: #444447)
3. A patch:
  Since only a single line of code is effected, a patch file is overkill.
  See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+bug/76501/comments/18
4. Detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug:
  Try to run xawtv from the menu or the command line on a computer equipped
  with NVidia graphics. Try the command
    xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep NV-GLX
  first to make sure the test system is effected by the problem: This should return
  a line similar to this string here: " NV-GLX (opcode: 146)"
5. A discussion of the regression potential:
  Almost no risk, because the patch only removes a trivial shell syntax error.
