[Reportbug-maint] Bug#534943: reportbug: python / GTK error about being unable to open display when used from console

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.4
Severity: normal


I had a bug in another program which forced me to report the bug from single
user connsole mode, and received the following error:

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:72: GtkWarning: could not open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

This is mainly cosmetic, but reportbug should not rely on there being more
than a console mode terminal available.
