myunity checks the version of ubuntu by taking the last 5 characters of the second line of lsb-release. In a default install, this is the DISTRIB_VERSION, but this is very fragile. If anything should reorder the lsb-release file, as often happens in customized installations, this no longer works. Actually using the shell to parse the variables in the file is much more robust.
