[Lubuntu-desktop] Roadmap for 12.04
I just started testing 12.04 and my initial impression is that it's wonderful! What to my surprise, there is now a shortcut option for the desktop! I do want to ask [again] one additional thing. The 11.04 theme has been noted in various posts as being a winner, brilliant, stuning etc. I do hope this theme will be available as an option on 12.04 and updated to GTK-3.

There are a couple of things that might make things easier for prospective adopters. 1. Gnome 2 and xubuntu allow a user to create a launcher anywhere on the desktop without having to build a .desktop file. Gnome 3 dropped this feature and its a pain. Now, if your going to attract windows users most everyone's desktop I see is littered with folders and icons. So, my desire would be to adopt the xubuntu solution that allows for a right-click on the desk to open a launcher constructor. 2. Searching for files and file content is a big issue for lots of windows users. I needed to install the gnome-search-tool to do this. An easier solution? I know that themes are a very subjective area. For me personally, I thought the 11.04 default theme was a big winner. The blue panel with white text was sharp (IMO) along with the box headers. I am not so impressed with the standards 11.10 theme. So, when you change the theme form one release to the other can you include the prior theme for people who don't like the new one.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Future - Target Market
So, I guess I have a philosophical question to ask of the Lubuntu developers; where do you want to take Lubuntu and what do you want to achieve in coming releases? Today, there clearly is a distinction between Ubuntu(unity/gnome), xubuntu(xfce), and lubuntu(lxde). While Ubuntu is feature rich and heavy, Lubuntu is light-weight and moderate. Xubuntu falls in between. But what about tomorrow? Are you planning on just putting out a solid ubuntuized LXDE version or, are our going to carefully add features to close the gap with xubuntu while still keeping an eye on light weight (yes the two are not mutually exclusive.) Personally, I have tried both versions and IMO think Lubuntu has a lot more promise. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Lubuntu-desktop] Autostart location
Installed 11.10 and Cairo dock. However, I want to turn the autostart start of Cairo. In 11.04 it was controlled by the Desktop Session Setting but its not there in 11.10. What conf file might this be in? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
