Yes, I use it all the time. You need to install the unison-gtk package
to get the GUI, and then run unison-gtk from a terminal window, or
configure a menu item to do this. Installing the package does not create
any menu entries IIRC.

Note, if you using unison to synchronise with another machine, you must
have the same version of unison installed on both machines. (This
presents problems synchronising between Dapper and Breeze, for example).

Regards,
Tony.
