  Work items:
  [zequence] Create git repo for the generic linux-multimedia-controls at github and start syncing ubuntustudio-controls branch from there: TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Option to keep it in the systray with a dropdown menu: TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Administer user realtime privilege (not only currently logged in user): TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] audio init button (set to kill and restart pulseaudio, and/or kill jack in options): TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Make system settings for graphics/video, as shown here http://www.rileybrandt.com/2012/07/31/linux-photo-1/: TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Add troubleshooting/log button which scans the system and creates a file which can be pasted into emails and such, when asking for help: TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Add a control for setting jack latency humanized (show ms first, f/p second): TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Add a control for setting default jack audio device (persistent between boots): TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Add option to have a2jmidid start with jack: TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Idea: set audio device for jack at first login (will require persistent card selection, based on name: how does Pulseaudio do it?): TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] first start notifications - can point out help/faq doc, tutorials, walkthrough, etc locations or important settings: TODO
  [ubuntustudio-dev] Check the system for settings needed for good performance. If something is lacking, send notification: TODO

  [ubuntustudio-dev] Select default kernel from controls: TODO
+ 
+ Need to decide on GUI as the old one is outmoded gtk2. Because we are
+ leaning towards making things DE agnostic I would suggest pyqt4 which
+ seems to already be in all the DEs, but jsut upgrading to gtk3 should
+ work fine too.
+ 
+ The command to gain admin access should be changed to pkexec in
+ ubuntustudio-controls.desktop. This is easy just trade pkexec instead of
+ gksu, pkexec is part of polkit1 which is already a part of all DEs
