[11.04]-Xubuntu is great, have some questions...

Hi,

I was a long time Ubuntu Gnome user (many years),
but recent changes from Gnome 2.x to Unity
made me drop that distro fast and look for an alternative.

I tried about 12 different Linux distributions
and I decided that Xubuntu 11.04 would be my final choice.

I just love Xubuntu 11.04 with XFCE desktop environment.

Here are my questions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- XFCE panel has a bad bug in it where window buttons
can not be drag-n-dropped into different order.
(I fixed this by installing XFCE panel from 11.10)
I guess this will be fixed in 11.10.

- I managed to make my window titlebars transparent,
but was wondering if a Windows(R) Aero effect is possible?
(Aero makes the transparency fuzzy)

- I have a calculator button on my USB keyboard
but in Xubuntu it not working.  How would I fix this?
(worked OK on Ubuntu)

- There seems to be two audio volume controls on my panel?
I know how to get rid of one of them, but can this be fixed in 11.10?

- Ubuntu 11.04 had a great feature to drag a window
to the screen edge and it would occupy 1/2 of the screen.
Can this be added to Xubuntu 11.10?

Thank you...
