(LP: #634279).

styling to match recent changes to the default theme.

* Correct layout based on suggestions from Matthew Paul Thomas.
* Correct layout on keyboard guesser.

* Don't show the GTK frontend until it's done constructing the UI.
* Show a spinning cursor on the X root window in addition to the
ubiquity window, so it's clear that the installer is loading the

combobox (LP: #615033).
* Meet the Geonames.org CC license requirements by adding 'Geonames.org'
to the map.

* Disable the wireless plugin for now. It's not ready for release.
* Make use of the new connectivity check page.
* Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
