Bug#748525: Fails on launch if set to widescreen

Package: pangzero
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: grave

(Setting this to grave due to the prevalence of wide screens, and the
non-trivial difficulty of recovering from this state.)

Setting the mode to "Widescreen" in the options menu causes pangzero to
fail on launch, with the following message:

Undefined subroutine &SDL::ListModes called at /usr/share/perl5/Games/PangZero/Graphics.pm line 258

That function indeed doesn't exist, but SDL::Video::list_modes does.

(Also, the code calling that routine seems to require a very narrow
range of video modes, rather than adapting to what's available on the
system, but that isn't a grave bug, just an obnoxious one.)

Recovering from this state requires manually editing ~/.pangzerorc and
changing Games::PangZero::FullScreen back to 1.
