Please let us know, what is the reason to > change it? LXtasks is not packaged for Ubuntu or Debian. It was rejected by Debian because it's mostly the same code base than xfce4-taskmanager. As I don't plan to include it in Ubuntu, I prefer to stay with the Xfce one, so we can at least share maintenance. Also, there is no additional depends, since we have already Xfce depends with xfburn. > Osmo - I wonder how compatible we should try to keep it with other > solutions.

The goal was to covert the need to manage events and calendar. Osmo seems to be a good candidate. Orage could also be good, but it brings xfce4-panel depends, and look a bit ugly on a LXDE session last time I tested. I didn't have another idea for this purpose, so if people have a better idea ... :) > How about lxlauncher - where would be a good place to have a button to > change desktop mode?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New programs by default
Hi, thanks for starting the work on Lucid. Can we update I agree, that we need to look out for lightweight options for applications. About the applications you are proposing. xfce task manager - I know that lxtask has some bugs, but we defined it in the applications list. Please let us know, what is the reason to change it? parcellite - seems good to me. Osmo - I wonder how compatible we should try to keep it with other solutions. Import and export functionality of data seems to be very rudimentary? I found ical can be exported. What do you think? language-selector - very useful! software-properties-gtk - good idea How about lxlauncher - where would be a good place to have a button to change desktop mode? Do you agree that a switchable desktop mode would be a good idea?
