Thanks for reporting this issue.
I see the same on Ubuntu 10.10 with Widelands bzr r5801. I get the following error:
Graphics: Trying FULLSCREEN
Graphics: Try to set Videomode 1366x768 32Bit
terminate called after throwing an instance of '_wexception'
  what(): [/home/user/widelands/src/graphic/graphic.cc:143] Graphics: could not set video mode: No video mode large enough for 1366x768
Avbrutt (SIGABRT)

What I did to provoke this was to edit the resolution in ~/.widelands/config to a bigger resolution than my screen can handle. The interesting part is that it only crashes if the game is set to fullscreen as well. When running the game in windowed mode it ran fine.
