THE CODE IN THIS PAGE IS HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING!!!

###Scenario

We have two laptop: a big one and a netbook and we need to share a tomb with personal settings and data.

###Description

unfortunately, we can't just use a "shared" tomb, because tomb cannot be mounted by more than one computer. Furthermore, tomb has (still) no way to use a lock. So, we need to do it ourselves with an external lock (just aside to the tomb).

What we do is (periodically):

1. acquiring the lock
2. mounting the remote tomb
3. using unison to do sync
4. unmounting
5. releasing the lock

###The HORRIBLE code

    zenity --error --text='Non sono riuscito a montare la tomba locale!' --title='Orrore!'
