Re: LXQt test and Lubuntu 14.04

[Israel]

I just did an update and got an update on the lubuntu session, so who 
knows there may be no bugs now (my panel is highly configured and I 
haven't rebooted today)
There are still some packages that haven't made it into trusty, so make 
sure the programs you like are around.
(Variety is not here yet... so I am missing my wonderful NASA photos of 
the day)
If it is a spare machine, then just go for it, this is just as stable as 
13.10 was for me.  I haven't encountered a glitch I didn't expect.

I really wanted LXQt to work but I can wait :)

You knew we had talented artists, just look at the icons!!

OnlyShowIn=Lubuntu
So it could be added back in easily for people that
accidentally configure their panel too much and delete
something, and then can't find the shutdown applet.
It would be better if it was an applet to add to the panel,
but I suppose with efforts toward LXQt the desktop file would
be sufficient for 14.04 users.

Re: LXQt test and Lubuntu 14.04

I have been running 14.04 with no problems yet.  The lack of a shutdown 
button is not a huge deal especially for ex-windows users, as they are 
used to opening the applications menu to shutdown any way, and I simply 
made a desktop file called shutdown.desktop with

lxsession-logout as the exec...
I really wanted LXQt to work but I can wait :)
