Script breaks in Ubuntu 14.04

Just got a report about this, but haven't tested it myself.

Part of the problem was the gsettings schema name #30, and @angryoctet submitted a patch for that. But it looks like Ubuntu 14.04 includes way more remote scopes that need to be disabled as well.

Would anyone be into figuring out what all of those are, and disabling them for 14.04 (but not 13.10, which includes less scopes)?

Since 14.04 isn't released until Easter there is plenty of time. If there was a public ubuntu repo for the build of dconf that will be installed that would be helpful. Since they can add scopes any time it might be necessary to do 'remove all; add known ok, add known bad to hidden-scopes'.

Actually, it looks like this won't be necessary in 14.04, for finally: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/03/ubuntu-make-amazon-product-results-opt-unity

Even if it's not necessary, the script should not crash.

How about displaying a message if $V=14.04:
"Good news! This version of Ubuntu is not known to invade your privacy."

Good point
