See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/214727
If mplayer go to universe, this problem will be gone.

Some of those applications are not part of Ubuntu official repositories,
so it can't be proposed for Lubuntu if we want to build it with Ubuntu

Also, to discuss specific application, please open another separate

Notify-osd can be replace by standart notification-daemon, which may
have less memory usage. Also, xfce-power-manager for example doesn't
requiert a notification program, so this could be a solution.
