Hi Nio and others

In addition I have noted:
- There is no slideshow during installation on disk.
- Further, an error message during installation on disk from live 
session for crash of WebKitWebProcess.
- As you noted there is a strange "start button" icon of 
/usr/share/lubuntu/images/lubuntu-logo.png, but this can be replaced by 
the old 1610-lubuntu-logo.png, that is still available in the images folder.
- Abiword shows not only flickering of the cursor, but on my screen 
(depending on the theme) also the paper borders as well as the paper 
itself. As I suggested earlier, the best solution at present is to 
remove Abiword  and recommend users to install Libre Writer or FocusWriter.
