[Bug 219980] [NEW] Display settings launch fails on "Index out of range"

[Kjella]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings

On Kubuntu 7.10 with backports enabled, the "Display Settings" module
fails to load. (Note: Filesystems work fine so doesn't look to be bug
#38692).

Package versions:
ii  kde-systemsettings 0.0svn20070312-0ub easy to use control centre for KDE
ii  xserver-xorg       1:7.2-5ubuntu13    the X.Org X server

I've tried more or less the same with or without sudo, via system
settings or standalone but it always ends up at the error below. Also, I
should make it clear that this is a working system that boots into X
just fine.
