There are several "alphabet soup" names in the menus that might mean something to a power user, but not to me. There are several settings that I have never seen before in older versions of Lubuntu. (Sorry, I don't have Lubuntu running just now, so I can't be as specific as you'd like.) I couldn't find any setting to display Trash and volumes on my desktop. > >> useful items missing from those menus > > Such as? Software Updater for one.

Where is the command that lets me display the Trash and volumes. on my desktop? -- chrisp...@me.com is a filtered spam magnet. Email replies may be lost.
