Comment 10 for bug 160766

IMO this is a usability problem. The user should not have to google or read all documentation to avoid getting error messages from menu items in the default applications.

The suggestions above about assisting the user in different ways to install the required packages are good.

The other way around would be to have the game hide the "View -> 3d chess view" menu item until the user has installed the prerequisites. Not as user friendly, but at least the game wouldn't have a broken menu item in the eyes of the first time user.
