[om-council] Lx 3.0 review

Snapshot  is a minimalist gui for configuring rsnapshot that relies on
rsync. In one hand, it is more efficient to directly configure
rsnapshot via its config file, thus making draksnapshot-config
useless. In the other hand, a basic user could get started whith the
gui.
Imo, it would be better to keep it.
I just tested with my newly installed B760, therefore not the build
tested in the review.
Yes "Snapshots" crashes when launch from the mcc but seems to work
well when launched from the command line (draksnapshot-config). So, it
might be the sign of inconsistencies between the mcc and the tools.
