New description:

 Gridsync is a Qt shell for the Tahoe-LAFS install and run procedures. It's
 GUI wraps various Tahoe-LAFS CLI commands so that the user can click
 through an easy to use install wizard to configure their Tahoe-LAFS
 client... and then run it.

 https://github.com/gridsync/gridsync

 This ticket shall be resolved when gridsync utilizes the new magic-folder
 CLI commands such that the user of this dev branch of gridsync could
 easily click through a wizard that sets up their Tahoe-LAFS client +
 magic-folder.

 Upon a reviewing the gridsync source code this task appears to be easy
 because fundamentally it's a shell that runs Tahoe CLI commands in it's
 own process; it happens to be a twisted app the uses the Qt Reactor.

 The additional GUI features that gridsync may need to display realtime
 status updates will not be included in this ticket.
