The ubuntu-restricted-extras will only install gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-ffmpeg. As SMPlayer might be using w32codecs which aren't packaged in ubuntu right now (only medibuntu as far as I know) we could create a shell scribt downloading the codec, but as it isn't offically ubuntu, I don't know really. 
Btw. why still using smplayer ? I thought QT requirements should be avoided. Why not using gnome-mplayer (making a vote perhaps to choose the right media player)

The NewWave Theme I created would be also nice to integrate: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork/Incoming/Lucid/NewWave 

PS: The fonts problem described is caused because LXDE doesn't have font-hinting(like gnome or KDE have). 

BUGs I noticed: 
- Isolinux boot menu localization is not completed (I think we need to recompile the *.tr files here, but I am not quite sure)
- Right cick menu on desktop points to windowmanagers (openbox) menu. (Simply change default config of pcmanfm to fix this)
- Still using sylpheed (its outdated ! come on who stores passwords in cleartext !? Fix: Switch to claws-mail (localization support and by far better plugin support, spam filter etc. ) 
- Some apps seem too have to big default window size considering using them on the eeePC or any other netbook. 
- We should consider removing PyNeighborhood if the gvfs implementation in pcmanfm2 is completed (2 apps for solving the same issues here, see Ubuntu which only ships with nautilus(file-manager) for browsing ftp) 

Suggestions:
I attached a little modified openbox config which changes some of the hotkeys (e.g. WIN+D for hide to desktop, CTRL+ALT+D opens up pcmanfm, CTRL+ALT+T opens up terminal)
I would also suggest adding a screenshot application. As you can see in the modified openbox config, I am currently using scrot. It stores the files directly in the home folder with current date and time as file name. 
Tiling Windows is a nice and interesting way to add a kinda expose effect to openbox. I found http://ftp.unixdev.net/pub/debian-udev/pool/main/t/tile/ which may work. (not tested yet) and http://pytyle.com/wiki/Main_Page . Sadly they seem not be packaged in ubuntu. 


Regards, and happy new year to all
