Hello,

Sorry, I am not a Ubuntu developer, I have no power over what is 
included and what patches are accepted. I'm in doubt that my application 
will get into Ubuntu, I just wanted to share it with people that like to 
have such an app.

In order to get everything working with this setting Firefox, 
Thunderbird and QT library need to be patched.
