Thanks Michael!

Sorry, I'll have to -1 because it doesn't work for me (sync just spins
forever). Is anyone else having this problem?

It's rather a lot of Javascript, but essentially sandboxed in the WebKit
View. There's one odd bit in data/media/app/scripts/app.js where it
makes a call to http://caffeinatedco.de/online.json, to check if the
user is online. It's not passing any details from the program (passwords
or anything), just a random number, but it's really an unnecessary call,
it would make more sense to check the connection to google (before
trying to load data from google) than connecting to the upstream
developer's website.

It will need the "-extras12.04.1" added to the package version before
release.
