screen-resolution-extra is missing dependency on python-gtk2

The problem still exists in maverick.

[user]@[system]:~$ kdesudo nvidia-settings
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory

    import gtk, gobject, sys, dbus, logging, os, re
ImportError: No module named gtk

ERROR: Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

In fact, gtk & gobject dependencies can be cut off, see this: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3114992.0;wap2

This bug is over a year old, but can easily be fixed with Ruslan's link.

I think that pkg-config should be bundled with the driver when installing and that the import line for gtk and gobject be removed from /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit.py.

Problem still persists with Kubunutu 11.10.

Is anyone even working on fixing bugs in Ubuntu? This is a problem over a year old that is such an easy fix it could be done in a matter of minutes. Just add the dependency to the .deb file, and it's done.

You wonder why people are laving Ubuntu? It's because the developers are more interested in adding features THEY want, rather than listening to the users desires, and fixing bugs. There was a time when Ubuntu was the cream of the crop for Linux distros. Now, it's made up of a bunch of committees playing politics for their own pet projects disregarding what the community really needs, much less desires.

Stop adding new features and take a look at the enormous list of bugs and problems. Concentrate on those before adding more crap that will do nothing more than distance your users and introduce yet more bugs and problems.

Just to post the fix in here:

1) sudo %favoriteEditor% /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit.py
2) change
   import gtk, gobject, sys, dbus, logging, os, re
to:
   import sys, dbus, logging, os, re
gtk is not needed to edit xorg.conf, lol
3)
nvidia-settings prints: pkg-config not found
   apt-get install pkg-config

Hopefully gets fixed in kubuntu 12.04
