Usually intermittent issues, with apps.
Panel eg. 
1) bottom panel Right side I have Network connection, update list,
volume control. Sometimes these are duplicates other times not.
Sometimes when I click on the network connection icon a notification
pops up that covers all the choices.

2) After an update jpilot refuses to sync. works perfect on Ubuntustudio
even with the latest updates.

3) Synaptic: keep giving a warning
updating cache waiting for synaptic to exit. have to exit then restart
the app.

Just a bunch of annoying little things that doesn't place Mint anywhere
near the top of my list of distros I would want to install on another
box.
