Comment 8 for bug 630793

I'm able to reproduce this bug on a Natty i386 system with tvtime 1.0.2-6.1ubuntu2. It occurs immediately after launching tvtime, though the tvtime window is drawn first. My machine does not actually have a TV tuner--I was only installing and running tvtime in order to find this bug, while looking into some of the issues raised in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tvtime/+question/152673. So perhaps the absence of a TV tuner (or a TV tuner that is recognized by the system or by tvtime) is related. I ran tvtime from the Terminal and got this output:

Running tvtime 1.0.2.

Since duplicates include natty as well as amd64, I'm adding those tags.

By the way, does anybody know why this bug is rated High importance in Ubuntu? Other bugs that seem much more important to Ubuntu have been rated much lower. Does this bug render tvtime totally nonfunctional for all users all of the time, or something?
