The touchpad horizontal scrolling is disabled by default. To enable it, 
I must run
    xinput set-int-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' \
    'Synaptics Edge Scrolling' 8 1 1 0
but I don't know how should I make it run each time an X session is 
started (maybe /etc/X11/Xsession.d?).

The volume keys (Fn + arrows up/down on my netbook) don't do anything by 
default. Leszek was working on a script that incremented / decremented / 
muted the volume giving visual feedback through a program on the package 
xosd-bin. The volume key behavior can be set on 
~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml (I'd like a graphical way for this 
task, like an extra tab on obconf), on the <keybind 
key="XF86Audio(RaiseVolume|LowerVolume|Mute)"> section. I have mine set 
to `amixer set Master (2+|2-|toggle)`.
Also, it would be nice that the panel volume icon changed according to 
the volume level: no waves for muted (already implemented), 1 wave for 
volume from 1% to 33%, 2 waves for 34% to 66%, 3 waves for 67% to 100%.

The Display key ("XF86Display; Fn+F5 on my netbook) doesn't do anything. 
I've seen it binded to `xrandr --auto` on some config files. I've 
personally set it to `lxrandr` so it displays a cool graphical window 
when it's pressed. This is configured on the same .xml file as before.

And now something that isn't directly related to Lubuntu but to any 
Linux laptop.
The numeric keypad keys (Fn + 789UIOJKLM. on most laptops) don't work as 
number keys because the NumLock is disabled. You must press Shift+Fn+key 
for that. If you enable the NumLock (which can be done automatically via 
numlockx) then those keys are also locked on Fn-mode, so you can't use 
those UIOJKLM keys. Sometimes the numeric keypad behavior can be 
configured via the BIOS, but my laptop doesn't seem to have that 
ability. So I wrote a small xmodmap-based script that replaced the 
Fn+number keys (KP_End, KP_Down, KP_Next...) to the corresponding 
numbers (KP_1, KP_2, KP_3...). I made a package with it, let me know if 
someone's interested on it.
