kde-guidance displayconfig fails to load if laptop-detect is not installed

Here's the python trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 8, in kcontrol_bridge_create_displayconfig
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/displayconfig.py", line 1687, in create_displayconfig
    return DisplayApp(parent, name)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/displayconfig.py", line 443, in __init__
    self.xsetup = XSetup(self.xconfigpath)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/displayconfigabstraction.py", line 251, in __init__
    if subprocess.call(['/usr/sbin/laptop-detect'])==0:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 412, in call
    return Popen(*args, **kwargs).wait()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 542, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 975, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

So, either kde-guidance should depend on laptop-detect or it should fail more gracefully in its absence.
