It would be better if one (or more) of the following happened. 1) During the first-time configure, reportbug would check if python-vte is installed, and if not warn the user that the GTK2 interface is not available. 2) The dialog box should offer to reconfigure reportbug, or give the command-line option to do so. 3) The dialog box should offer to fallback to the text interface, or give the command-line option to do so. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="text" ** /home/me/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "4.4" mode standard ui gtk2 realname "Colin S.
