Oops, I made a mistake with the name of the protocol package.

It was my mistake, python-ubuntuone-storage-protocol is the one that 
should be installed, and it should be automatically pulled in when you 
install ubuntuone-client-gnome.

The disappearing applet is expected behavior right now, and we'll be 
improving it. It's startling to see the applet go away shortly after 
startup, and we've got a design to try and make it more obvious to the 
user what is happening so that you can feel confident that the system is 
working properly rather than wondering if it crashed. Many of the beta 
testers are reporting that the applet crashed, when really it only hid 
itself because it was idle.

You can have a look at this page to see the new design for using 
notifications and when the icon will show and hide itself:
