Title:
  ubuntu-bug crashes with a long list of GTK errors - X permissions
  should be checked

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I had a freeze of gnome-shell, and gathered an apport report from the
  command-line on TTY1

  I then recovered gnome-shell like...
  kill -9 `pidof gnome-shell`
  export DISPLAY=:0
  gnome-shell --replace

  Then when I tried to report the bug via...

  sudo ubuntu-bug /tmp/apport.gnome-shell.n6si7l.apport

  ...I could briefly see a report that it couldn't access the X display,
  and followed by many pages of errors like...

  (apport-gtk:18921): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_keymap_get_modifier_mask: assertion 'GDK_IS_KEYMAP (keymap)' failed
  (apport-gtk:18921): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_keymap_get_for_display: assertion 'GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
  (apport-gtk:18921): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_replace_virtual_modifiers: assertion 'GDK_IS_KEYMAP (keymap)' failed
  (apport-gtk:18921): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_keymap_get_for_display: assertion 'GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
  (apport-gtk:18921): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_keymap_get_modifier_mask: assertion 'GDK_IS_KEYMAP (keymap)' failed

  ...followed by Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  This was fixed by running...
  xhost +local:root
  ...after which ubuntu-bug would properly load and run (hence this bug report).
