Please let us know, what is the reason to change it? LXtasks is not packaged for Ubuntu or Debian. It was rejected by Debian because it's mostly the same code base than xfce4-taskmanager. As I don't plan to include it in Ubuntu, I prefer to stay with the Xfce one, so we can at least share maintenance. Also, there is no additional depends, since we have already Xfce depends with xfburn. Osmo - I wonder how compatible we should try to keep it with other solutions. Import and export functionality of data seems to be very rudimentary? I found ical can be exported. What do you think? I tested it very quickly, and not very well the import/export problem. The goal was to covert the need to manage events and calendar. Osmo seems to be a good candidate. Orage could also be good, but it brings xfce4-panel depends, and look a bit ugly on a LXDE session last time I tested. I didn't have another idea for this purpose, so if people have a better idea ... :) How about lxlauncher - where would be a good place to have a button to change desktop mode? Do you agree that a switchable desktop mode would be a good idea? Yes, I planned to create another session, so when login, you can choose between Lubuntu standart or Lubuntu + Lxlauncher.
