CredentialsError starting UbuntuOne for Ubuntu 12.04

[Tong Sun]

The symptom is exactly that of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+bug/1014379

But

1. I'm not using nightlies repository, just normal precise-updates repository.
2. That bug is fixed, but I'm still having the problem.

Details.

Ubuntu 12.04, with normal precise-updates repository, minimum installation. So I need to install UbuntuOne myself.

apt-get install ubuntuone-control-panel
apt-get install ubuntuone-control-panel-qt

then start ubuntuone-control-panel-qt as me. An error message is shown when opening the control panel:

 CredentialsError DBusException(dbus.String(u'Process /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-login exited with status 1'),)

How can I setup the Credentials myself?
I can't seem to find Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys on my Ubuntu 12.04 PC.

If I run /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-login directly, the script produces the following error traceback.

$ /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-login
Traceback (most recent call last):

You can install python-gobject as a temporary workaround.
