Bug Description

The control panel handles its own arguments passed through the command line, and reports errors on any other unknown arguments. This prevents it to accept the qt command line options.

The Qt control panel should accept its own arguments, and pass the rest to the qt application when launched.

For example, to be able to use it with the Qt testability driver, we have to start the application with the -testability option. Currently, in order to do this we had to hardcode it into the code :

super(UniqueApplication, self).__init__(argv+["-testability"])

      - 'Apply these settings' button should be at the bottom right corner
        in the Settings tab (LP: #944120).
      - No more strings coming up from the Designer ui files (LP: #938626).
      - Make gettext return unicode so we can format strings

      default install.
