There is currently no visible gnome-power-manager icon in the systray of the panel (as it is started automatically but I don't see any icon but can click on it I guess it is a panel problem). Next thing gpicview should it be in the panel menu under graphics ? (somehow the graphics submenu seems strange containing only 1 app)

I wonder, isn't lubuntu's target mainly old hardware, as netbooks have
it's UNR? or if we want it to be so netbook, maybe a the UNR opengl
menu (which I love by the way) could be somehow attached do
LXDE/openbox, instead of gnome/metacity? of course only as something
to launch deliberately on purpose (maybe an icon suggesting to try it
could be placed on desktop),not by default? I mean: defaultly lubuntu
would be a regular lightweight desktop, but it could be turned into
UNR-like system based on LXDE easily?
