I know a work around for one of those issues is that switch out the
standard desktop pager to the wnkpager which works better and actually the
upstream beta of newest lxpanel uses by default. Remove the old desktop
pager by right clicking on the panel click add for panel applets select
wnkpager. Move it wheere you want to. Click on the one that says regular
desktop pager and then click remove as you do not usually need both. I also
like this one better as it has outlines and shows an icon for your
maximized windows.
Also you can remove the calculator tool you like lesss.
Also firefox vs chromium is a matter of prefrence. You can install chromium
and uninstall firefox if you wish and espically if you prefer one over the
other. Don't worry about it saying it will remove the lubuntu-desktop
metapackage.
I don't quite know of how to solve the network manager issues off the top
of my head.
