I don't think people change the layout of their keyboard very often.
However, there is no easy way to configure this behavior.

It's a bug in gnome-power-manager.

In progress.

It's something to deal with calendar, tasks, contacts etc ... It could
be useful for a bunch of people.

I know, It's also annoying for me. I fixed it before, last upload
re-introduce the bug.

I can't reproduce the problem. you should report a bug under lxterminal.

Please report bugs under programs which are affected, with the exact
windows affected.

For now, nothing exist, even upstream. It's something on the TODO list
but siomeone need to code it. See bug

It's an alsa bug, not specific to Lubuntu. I think alsa was updated
recently on Lucid, maybe it will be fixed for the next update.

Surely a temporary problem, Lubuntu is still based on Lucid, which is
unstable :)

You should report a bug on this package.

gnome-games have too much depends on gnome stuff. If you have other idea
for little games, maybe :)
