All together Mer/LXDE runs well FF3 is the best browser I have found so far it runs better then midori to me atleast.

No way, just no way FF would be faster than midori with heavy pages. Try loading itT. it's slow as hell

Well I didn't use midori for long maybe I didn't load any heavy pages on it. I always use itT with my Minimalist theme so it loads fast on both.

There is a program called maximus, available in repos, that will maximize all programs by default on startup. I find that very useful in lxde (using mer) as a defalut behavior .

To install
sudo apt-get install maximus

This way all ur programs will start maximized and then you can restore them to default size if u choose.

Hope this helps some1

With version 0.8 of Mer, you must comment out the Mer repo due to a dependency problem with libvte9 if you want to install synaptic.

added line sudo apt-get install libvte9=1:0.19.4-0ubuntu3 to force install of the right version of libvte9 for lxde.

Create

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Network Manager
Comment=NetworkManager control applet
Exec=nm-applet
Type=PanelApp
Icon=none
Categories=Panel;Utility;

in ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop. Or I think the OP has an nm-applet file to put into /etc/xdg/autostart that might work as well.

its in first post when you move nm-applet.desktop to autostart folder it will auto start next time. I'm working on a package to do all the steps just havn't done it yet.
