Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Extend desktop across dual monitors -- a feature I would like to see in Lubuntu 12.xx

For the desktop panel: 1. one panel per monitor, configured separately 2. one panel exending to the external monitor 3. one panel staying on main monitor, no panel on the external one 4. one panel exending to the external monitor, but have the most important panel applets on the main monitor, and the rest on the external monitor 5. Other possibilities... For the desktop icons manager, options are: 1. icons on main monitor only. 2. some icons on main monitor, others on the external monitors. (Then how to handle icon rearrangement when the external monitor is disconnected?) 3. others... For wallpaper: 1. one wallpaper per monitor 2. one wallpaper extending to all monitors 3. others... Things goes much more complicated since X supports XRandR, Xinerama, other vendor-specific solutions, X11 Display/Screen stuff. Implementation details for them are totally different. So how exactly should a desktop behave and be implemented? What will happen after Wayland is introduced and is widely accepted? We had better have a conclusion on the specifications before anything is going to be implemented. Comments needed. Thanks! In my setup, I prefer: One panel on main monitor, none on secondary OR mirrored panels on both. Icons on main monitor only (actually, I prefer a clean desktop with no icons other than mounted devices). One wallpaper per monitor, configurable. xrandr works comfortably for me. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Lubuntu-desktop] lubuntu-{desktop, core} versus lxde-{common, core}
For starters, thank you to all who are involved in making lubuntu. It is a fine OS and deserves much praise. I have been trying to gain an understanding how lubuntu differentiates itself from lxde. Please correct me if I am wrong; this is an attempt to learn and gain clarification and most certainly is not coming from a critical standpoint. lxde is a desktop environment and has both -core and -common metapackages in ubuntu and debian, and releases an .iso based on debian. lubuntu also has both -core and -desktop metapackages in ubuntu. Is there anything that distinguishes lubuntu from lxde, other than community, branding and default package selection? If so, what? Integration? If I want a lightweight, standards-compliant system, am I better off installing the -core and adding apps I want? In other words, what is the value-added that lubuntu provides over vanilla lxde? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu v. LXDE
1. Can someone explain simply what distinguishes Lubuntu from vanilla LXDE, and the following packages: lubuntu-desktop from lxde (metapackage) and lubuntu-core from lxde-core? 2. Can it be configured to use right-click menus like fluxbox instead of a start menu? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I’ve not used fluxbox for ages and can’t remember what the menu looks like.
