           Summary: NVIDIA driver configuration Unable to open X config
                    file for writing.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: lnxusr@westlot.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

NVIDIA driver configuration is unable to save configuration to xorg.conf due to
dependency problem. Python-gtk2 needs to be installed manually beforehand.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install NVIDIA drivers from 'Additional Drivers' app.  Run nvidia-settings,
make changes and/or just try to save.

Actual Results:  
'NVIDIA driver configuration: Unable to open X config file for writing.' Error
box pops up.


Expected Results:  
Save as dialog is displayed followed by password request.  File should then be
saved.


This is a dependency problem for the nvidia-settings*.deb package.  Python-gtk2
should be added as a package dependency and installed automatically by package
manager.
