I use gnome-flashback & fslint-gui works for me in 16.04:

$ apt policy fslint
fslint:
  Installed: 2.44-2
  Candidate: 2.44-2
  Version table:
 *** 2.44-2 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64
Packages
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe i386
Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ apt depends fslint
fslint
  Depends: python (>= 2.3)
  Depends: python-gtk2 (>= 2.4)
  Depends: python-glade2
  Depends: findutils (>= 4.1.1)
    findutils:i386

I'll logout & back in using Unity (I have GNOME, Gnome-Flashback, and
Unity installed) and let you know if it works there as well.
