[Reportbug-maint] Bug#878013: reportbug: Gtk+ frontend doesn't start in MATE

[Doug S.]

Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

  The frontend for reportbug is not starting in MATE. Nothing happens upon launching it. It works with GNOME.

  I was unable to collect any verbose output for the gtk frontend. Running reportbug from the terminal "reportbug --exit-prompt --ui gtk2" results in opening the terminal version of reportbug, not the Gtk. Please point me to the proper way of collecting debug information, if needed.
