Bug Description

On Ubuntu 12.04:
1. disable networking from system menu
2. start u1 control panel from launcher
3. no error is shown, and:

The behavior of the filesync connect/disconnect button is not too friendly.
My status was "up to date", and when I try "disconnect", it changes the button status (but what did it do?).
That's mostly OK, but when I then try "connect", it switches to loading / "Please Wait" for a while, then the state reverts to disconnected with no explanation.

An appropriate error message would be a start but IMO ideally the whole app would know the connection status and these buttons would be disabled if they're meaningless while disconnected...
