Description of problem:
When starting "redhat-config-users" in a virtual console - or a program like
Putty, where no X server is present, redhat-config-users generates an ugly
traceback.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.9-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start redhat-config-users in a Putty session or virtual console
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/redhat-config-users.py", line 26, in ?
    import mainWindow
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 24, in ?
    import gtk
  File
"/usr/src/build/218821-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py",
line 43, in ?
RuntimeError: could not open display


Expected Results:
