Public bug reported:

If you select "System::Administration::Software Sources" currently
_nothing_ happens on jaunty.

If I run it from a terminal, using the command:
gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop 
/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk

Then I see this chain of nasty errors like this:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:19: FutureWarning: apt API not 
stable yet  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)

Some guy on #ubuntu-bugs confirmed that it happens on his jaunty system
as well.
