Hm, thanks for the report. Zenmap should give a proper error in that
case, not segfault. When I unset my display, I get a much more useful
exception:

RuntimeError: could not open display

If anyone else gets the segmentation fault result described above and
can find a fix, I'd be happy to integrate it.
