Lubuntu Users:

I installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop on one of my music performance laptops, 
and that seems to work fine.

If any of you want to try it, be sure to apply all updates before 
installing it, to avoid problems that took a bit of skill to overcome.

I don't know if I'll be able to upgrade it when the next stable release 
rolls-around, but that's less important on a music performance machine.

The good advantage I got, is that I can now tap-to-click on the 
touchpad, and it shuts down quickly (without any of those 90 second 
delays that often happen with Lubuntu).

When it boots, it still says it's Lubuntu, but that's not a problem.
