Package: dragbox
Version: 0.3.0-1
Severity: normal
Dragbox 0.3.0 does not handle dbus unavailibility appropriately.
We want to avoid the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed:
dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11
initialization failed.
To reproduce:
Start a GNU Screen session in your Gnome session. Log out, log in, reattach and
try to run dragbox
Note that this is a maintainer-filed bug:
1. More fun for me
2. Keep the old version in testing*
* The new version also have new features though. Please tell me if I'm being
too conservative.
