Another easy way to put icons for your favorite applications on your desktop is to open PCManFM and navigate to /usr/share/applications. Find the icon you want and just drag-and-drop it to the desktop. I don't know what the issue is with the icon for Firefox. Mine is missing too, but the substitute ...

Where are the audio controls? I don't have any sound as far as I can tell, and I wanted to check to see if it was muted, but there are zero audo controls anywhere so far as I can tell. Use PCManFM to find it in /usr/share/applications . It's probably called "Volume Control." When you open...

I love the ease and elegance of LXDE and want to make it my only desktop environment. But in all the minimal installs of Debian and it's derivatives include Gnome stuff. So my question is: Can I safely uninstall Gnome, or does LXDE depend on Gnome or some of it's components? Must I keep what I'm not...

They are actually working on an LXDE edition of Ubuntu ("Lubuntu") but I have no idea how long it may take. Some of the same team members are also working on an LXDE-based community edition for Linux Mint as well.

Thanks! I'll post the question on Ubuntu forums too. I've been bragging like crazy there about how fast and simple LXDE is! Thanks again for an awesome DE.
