Bug#677409: Fails to launch if previously used video mode not available

Package: neverball
Version: 1.5.4-5
Severity: normal

Neverball remembers the previously used video mode, and attempts to use
that mode again the next time it runs.  If unavailable (such as if that
mode used an external monitor not currently attached), neverball will
print an error message like "No video mode large enough for 2560x1440"
and refuse to start.  Fixing that requires hand-editing
~/.neverball/neverballrc .  To anyone attempting to launch the game from
a menu rather than the command line, the game would simply appear
broken.

Please fall back to an available video mode if the one remembered in the
configuration file no longer works.
