Comment 2 for bug 244519

Nice.
Grabbing user cookie is not acceptable, even if it seems to be the practice of other projects.
We also could look to Leonov code. http://launchpad.net/leonov it asks you for launchpad login.

Another note: this code brings a dependancy with it. We shuold wrap everything with try/except and hide the menu entry if the dependency is not there.
