Thank you, sebas

Outstanding! Finally got it.

Okay this definitely needs to go into the announcement and the wiki...I'll do 
it.

The problem I was having came from launching owncloud with the applications 
pulldown. The resulting screen shown in Settings>Synchronization showed up as 
a ghost against a black background. 

The Settings routine works great. I like it better than the desktop version. 

Nice work, sebas.
