Title:
  Synaptic backend doesn't work in apturl

Status in apturl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System: Xubuntu 14.10
  apturl version: 0.5.2ubuntu4

  If you'll tell apturl to use the Synaptic backend (by either removing
  aptdaemon from the system or specifying
  UPDATE_MANAGER_FORCE_BACKEND_SYNAPTIC=1 before apturl in the
  terminal), it crashes with this error:

  $ UPDATE_MANAGER_FORCE_BACKEND_SYNAPTIC=1 apturl apt://gcalctool
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/AptUrl/gtk/GtkUI.py:4: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/Threading
    GObject.threads_init()

    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/AptUrl/gtk/GtkUI.py", line 38, in __init__
      self.backend = get_backend(self.dia)
