I am not sure whether Lubuntu will fix AFJ's problems as described in
his orginal post.  Though since he already has Ubuntu installed he can
just install the lubuntu desktop to see if it is better.

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

@AFJ you might be better asking on the ubuntu users mailing list [1],
but I suggest just asking help with one problem at a time, posting
about multiple issues at once can mean that the important issues are
lost amongst lesser ones.  Also as was suggested earlier you should
uses ubuntu-bug to submit bug reports on problems so that they will be
seen and hopefully fixed [2].
