I numbered the items from Lutz for reference. 1. True in the Beta 1 ISO too. Easy to install but ditto the question even though I never use it myself. Why am I asking? The help pages in the 'buntu sites often include instructions to use `gksu`. Hard to erase every page! Cheaper to just include it in support of the documentation.
2. Selecting from a list of users instead of typing the user name - why is this an issue? Have you lost a function? Just personal preferences? Are you actually older than me???? [(-:]. 3. See http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-14-04-beta-1/. Both menulibre and alacarte are installed in Beta 1. Pick your poison. 4. I agree with you but that's ME and not necessarily Princess Leia! Frankly, I wish that they were BOTH installed so that I didn't have to remember to install my favorite package manager GUI (synaptic).
