Public bug reported:

In an Ubuntu Trusty minimalistic, (custom), started from the menus, it
does not start.

It appears there are two things which prevent it from being started. It
seems the /usr/sbin/lmt-config-gui needs to be started with
administration privilege, but the command line in the desktop file
doesn't mention.

Then, when started with "gksu -S lmt-config-gui", it does not start and
errors about Qt4 module missing. It appears that once python-qt4 is
installed, it can be started.

So, it needs python-qt4, however it is not installed as a dependency, so it 
will work only if by chance some other program brought it in.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/laptop-mode-tools

is in the recommends. Could it be tagged dependency and not recommend?

Could you also check about the desktop file and fix it if possible?
(here gksu -S worked, pkexec didn't)

Best regards,
Mélodie
