True in the Beta 1 ISO too. Easy to install but ditto the question even though I never use it myself. Why am I asking? The help pages in the 'buntu sites often include instructions to use `gksu`. Hard to erase every page! Cheaper to just include it in support of the documentation. 2. Selecting from a list of users instead of typing the user name - why is this an issue? Have you lost a function? Just personal preferences? Are you actually older than me???? [(-:]. 3. See <a href="http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-14-04-beta-1/">http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-14-04-beta-1/</a>. Both menulibre and alacarte are installed in Beta 1. Pick your poison. 4. I agree with you but that's ME and not necessarily Princess Leia! Frankly, I wish that they were BOTH installed so that I didn't have to remember to install my favorite package manager GUI (synaptic).

Is that by design? 2. lightdm greeter: I like the old style logon window, where I just get a text box to type in a user name instead of list with names to select from. In 12.04 I could configure the lightdm greeter to do that, however, those config items (greeter-hide-users=true) didn't seem to do anything in 14.04. Also by design? 3. The default app configured to edit the menu is menuLibre. However, Menulibre is not installed and the system reverts back to alacarte. Probably a good thing since MenuLibre crashes for me all the time trying to add launchers. 4. Just a personal preferences, and I know it's past the point where it mattered: I do not like Ubuntu Software Center and much prefer synaptic. Wish it was still included in the default distro. <div class="moz-signature">-- Lutz Andersohn <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lutz.andersohn@gmail.com">lutz.andersohn@gmail.com</a> (925) 784 1565 D-19318, AFF-I <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/b65/2b6">http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/b65/2b6</a> Public key ID: 0x9620D1A6</div> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> </body> </html>
