[Reportbug-maint] Bug#784167: reportbug crashes when X11 is unavailable

[MathFox]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

Starting reportbug (configured to use gtk) via ssh without X forwarding lead to
a series of error messages cumulating into a segmentation fault

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Workaround: run on local terminal.
