It would be nice if you could include Electrum, too: http://ecdsa.org/electrum/

Requires the package: python-gtk2

Requires two other python libraries which can be installed with:

sudo easy_install ecdsa
sudo easy_install slowaes

easy_install is part of the package python-setuptools (it can be removed after installing ecdsa and slowaes).

Electrum writes the wallet file in ~/.electrum/ by default, but it has the -w option so the wallet can be placed on the persistent partition if needed. Electrum uses deterministic wallets so NOT saving the wallet might actually be a feature for the users. Or you could have two launchers: Electrum (restore wallet) and Electrum (use saved wallet).
