  [kanliot] this is an actual problem, not a wishlist.  if we installed a
  .desktop shortcut to alsamixer.  noobs would be able to find it.   I
  just encountered such a person on the forum.

  As xxxterm is less resource hungry than Chromium & is already in Universe, what are the thoughts to switch to this as 'default', or even include it as an option if disk space on the install CD's allows?
  [gilir]
  Ressources is not the only factor to compare. We need also to compare the features and the speed between the browser. Also, a browser need a strong upstream support, for example to fix security issues.
  [leszek]
  xxxterm is a nice lightweight browser but it misses some comfort (i.e. Bookmarking support & Extensions). So I agree with Julien here.
  [phillw]
  If Chromium is not, as Julien has mentioned, currently getting regular builds; we may
  have to think of other options. I'm quite happy to have just have it mentioned on the
  minimal install page as a low resource browser (with less bloat, comes less functions).

- Under 'Work Items' it says: Investigate new image viewer (Viewnior?)
- I suggest also considering Eye of Gnome.
- Gpicview, the present image viewer, is buggy and does not seem to be in much development. There are several better (and light) alternatives.
- [gilir]
- eog depends on GNOME components, I don't think we need them to find a good alternative. Anyway, that could be part of the discussion for the image viewer

  If it is possible, in lxpanel, to automatically center icons on the panel : it would be interesting when we create a second panel as a dock. Currently icons remain attached on a side.
  
  [Pierre Gobin]
  Use (create) a Lubuntu Control Center to gather different System and Preferences options, and delete System and Preferences categories in the menu in favor of only two items : Lubuntu Control Center ans Lubuntu Software Center.
  
  [Pierre Gobin]
  In PCmanFM, create default bookmarks for personal folders (Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.) and use custom icons for them.
  [gilir]
  Adding shortcuts is done for quantal, having custom icons need a modification in pcmanfm itself.

  If we're going to add catfish to the seed, what happened to lxfind? I seem to recall that being relatively stable when I last used it...
  [gilir]
  I updated the task to reflect the choice between catfish and lxfind
  
  [kanliot]
  i know this is impossible, but i'd love to be able to install lubuntu on xfs.  I don't think you can, right now (it's missing from the liveCD)
  [leszek] (You can if you install xfs-tools from inside the live system before starting the installer)
  [cjwatson] This is a straightforward seed bug and easy to fix; probably the live seed ought to inherit from live-common, but failing that, include the necessary packages by hand.
  [gilir] thanks cjwatson, I added a task to look at this during q cycle
