Comment 0 for bug 934270

The current Ubuntu One control panel that is shipped by default in Ubuntu is a GTK+ UI which the Ubuntu One team is no longer supporting. Some of the problems with that UI are:

* use the deprecated pygtk bindings
* offers to install desktopcouch which no longer is supported
* is not aligned with the Ubuntu One new branding guidelines, and it does not show the information in a consistent way with the rest of the paltforms we support

The Ubuntu One team has decided to build a new control panel using the Qt toolkit, which solves all the above, giving us the following advantages:

* does not use any deprecated library
* is currently supported and will keep being supported for the whole LTS cycle
* present an uniform graphical interface across all the platforms that Ubutu One supports (and this is very important from a branding point of view)
* has all the messages and string revised by our Marketing department
* has a design that has been developed taking into consideration usability, translations, usefulness

The Qt control panel requires python-qt4, so this bug represent the need to have that dependency in the CD so the Ubuntu One team can keep shipping the Qt control panel in the CD as well.
