Bug Description

Hello,

On a fresh and updated install of Kubuntu 14.04 LTS (developpement version) with yesterday's CD image on a computer which has nVidia Optimus, I installed the nvidia proprietary driver with the jockey-kde graphical user interface. It did install nvidia-settings. However, when trying to switch between graphic cards with the Prime settings from the nvidia-settings interface, it printed a Traceback relative to some gtk dependency missing. Installing the python-gtk2 package solved the problem.

Maybe python-gtk2 should be a dependency of nvidia-xsettings?

Cheers,
Raphaël.
