[Reportbug-maint] Bug#585114: reportbug: GTK warning when trying to start on text console

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.2
Severity: normal

When launching reportbug in a text console (either text console or remote without X forwarding, I get following warning)
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

It seems me perfectly normal that it cannot open display since there
is no display, but why should it try to open it since I use text UI ?
