[ubuntu-uk] Xubuntu 11.10 Problems

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi,

I'm not really au fait with Xubuntu, but I do know they tied them selves to
LightDM, where as Lubuntu decided it was not really going to ready for 11.10
and stuck with lxdm. I have no idea if your sticking with xcfe with 11.10
would help, it is just a suggestion.

Regards,

Phill.
