</div><div>
Okay, you're right :) All document writers , excuse me for my impatience. I only open the documentations when I want to learn something new and I exactly want to know what I want to learn. (If I didn't know alreaty that swap [should] exsists, I wouldn't have created one)</div>

<div>
> I believe that's already possible. Have you checked the Mouse and Display items, respectively, in Applications->Settings->Settings Manager?</div>
<div>
</div>
</div><div>
The Settings manager -> Display lets me change the resolution and the refresh rate, even rotation but not color depth.</div>
<div>
The mouse settings lets me change acceleation, and acceleration treshold, but not default speed.<br>

7. There should be a more easy way to change the number of desktops ,<br>
and to create Launcher shortcuts. (ex: right click on the desktop<br>
changer -> Set count ; Right click on a file -> create shortcut)<br>
</blockquote>
</div><div>
<br>
I found the Launcher creation in the desktop and Thunar. I thought KDE would also show this right-click menu item when I run a kde-based file manager( Krusader), but seems it doesn't. So sorry for this one.</div>

One of my first thing was to disable xscreensaver daemon to save memory. I thought it works on a deeper level. I didn't want a screen saver but wanted to lock my screen.</div><div class="im">

20. The ICEDTEA (or any other firefox - openjava brigde) should be<br>
installed by default. Seriously.<br>

</div><div>
Firefox and OpenJava are both installed, they just can't see each-other. I also had to install Icedtea package (that's why I called it bridge), for the two to find each-other.</div><div class="im">

It can acces but cannot create a file sharing.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Hmm... I did believe there was a feature or a plug-in that would Thunar do that... Can't find it right now though.<br> </div>

My fault. Wasn't exploring the LiveCD deelpy enough.<br>

I am also planning to create a short step-by-step guide to install and set up Xubuntu [especially for users who don't like to read], and in that I wanted to mention the UTC, Pulsaudio, etc that a newcomer would be surprised at. And also teach some very basics, just to let the user know what should he/she google on forums.</div>
