no gui visible in unity

Robert Collins wrote that component, so I've assigned to him.

I don't have time to commit to this bug. Also please ask before assigning - I am subscribed so can claim things myself :-)

I've got an experimental appindicator version in the linked branch which seems to work. It drops the status icon support entirely.. not sure if thats important to keep around for a while.

Kate, Clint -- would you guys be interested in a new release of txAWS
for Precise?

If so, when should we create one? (seems like, at the earliest, when
Client's branch gets merged...)

Hi Duncan. I just now noticed that we don't have SSL endpoint certificate
verification in the current release of txaws (0.2). I see that it landed
in trunk a few months ago.

That makes any use of txaws fairly suspect, since you could be talking
to a MITM ec2 proxy that is intercepting your credentials, userdata,
etc. etc.

So yes, I think it would be quite important for us to have that available
for juju. In fact I may just isolate that as a patch for precise if we
can't get all of 0.3 in.
