Had the same problem. I don't need an onboard keyboard, so I deleted Onboard with Synaptic Package manager. This should not have been included in Xubuntu 11.10 by default. It was very frustrating, since I somehow maximized the damn thing by accident and then could do nothing, and I'd not even

I just added Volti, an indicator for volume/sound and using alsamixer directly instead of the pulseaudio. I like the volti indicator much better, as it is a classic volume (sound) icon with a very simple up/down bar, yet can be changed easily by simply hovering over it and rolling the mouse

In addition, the Settings submenu should be removed from the main applications menu by default and replaced with the Settings manager launcher. No, you need to NOT have removed the settings submenu, as it was more convenient to access OTHER settings controls without launching the settings

Actually, just created my own submenu for this with alacarte. I think it shold be an option to turn the settings submenu on or off, rather than just remove it. For me it's faster to use the submenu rather than the GUI settings manager window. I'm sure others don't change settings as often as I

Yes, very annoying, they've even removed the submenu for system settings in Xubuntu. I had it back and lost it again. Alacarte is only showing the menu items for any particular desktop: ie Kubunu or XFCE and not all applications like it used to, to add. Synapse is only showing particular
