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.

I tested it very quickly, and not very well the import/export problem.
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 ... :)

Yes, I planned to create another session, so when login, you can choose
between Lubuntu standart or Lubuntu + Lxlauncher.
