Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

This bug also prevents the "display settings" KDE control panel module
to be shown.

Error messages executing displayconfig from the command line are as
following:

$ displayconfig
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/displayconfig", line 23, in ?
    import xf86misc
  File "/usr/share/python-support/kde-guidance/xf86misc.py", line 18, in ?
    import ixf86misc
ImportError: No module named ixf86misc

Note that the following file DOES exist:

/usr/lib/python-support/kde-guidance/python2.4/ixf86misc.so

...but it seems that Python is unable to locate it in order to load the
library. A "strace displayconfig" doesn't show Python trying to open
ixf86misc.so in the correct path, so I guess that the package installer
or someone has to add that directory to Python's library path. I don't
know very much about how those settings work.

** Affects: kde-guidance (Ubuntu)
