Binary package hint: computer-janitor

I have used the current Ubuntu for several months and my system could undoubtedly benefit from a bit of cleaning. I tried to use Computer Janitor and all that came up was a blank screen with the headings but no files or programs displayed. I went to the Internet to learn how to use the program but I found nothing of help. The 'Help' in CJ was equally uninformative. There may be nothing wrong with CJ except my ignorance but my point (and plea) is that if humans are to use Ubuntu the developers can not be so cryptic as to make the programs shrouded in mystery. Please give the program a look and develop some basic user information.

Perhaps it should start up with a dismissable explanation, or in a wizard-type mode, or perhaps there should be larger labels within the windows explaining what they do.

i believe that martin is right on this note, if you don't have anything to be cleaned up, a simple message should be displayed stating so.
