[Reportbug-maint] Bug#612094: reportbug: Fails when run as root

[Leslie Rhorer]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal

When run as root, reportbug throws an exception and quits:

Backup:/usr/share/man# reportbug
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py:476: PangoWarning:
shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc',
font='DejaVu Sans 10', text=''
  gtk.main ()
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py:476: PangoWarning:

  gtk.main ()
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py:476: PangoWarning:

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py:476: PangoWarning:
pango_layout_get_line_count: assertion `layout != NULL' failed
  gtk.main ()
Floating point exception
Backup:/usr/share/man# 

When run as a normal user, reportbug does not fail completely, but it does
not run the GUI, either.  See
