For those who run Lubuntu 14.04 there is 2 things that might affect you (don't recall this being an issue in Lubuntu based distros) (only noticed this when i revisted my Lubuntu Installation earlier today for the war room post purposes, that was listed today):

2. Wireless and Wired connections icon in system notification area are not available:
This was a "plague", not sure if been patched up on latest version by default, but if not follow the steps below to fix it:

- Press the menu icon in the bottom left corner and select "preferences -> default applications for LXSession".

- When the LXSession Configuration screen loads up, click on the "Autostart" option in the left pane.

- Enter the following text into the "manual autostarted applications" field: nm-applet

- Press: "Add".

- Reboot (not log off) your computer and issue is fixed.

2. Keyboard layout: UK resident showing US keyboard layout???

Follow the steps below to fix it:

- In the system notification area, Right click the keyboard language icon and choose preferences.

- The iBus Preference screen will appear. Click on the "Input Method" tab.

- Check the box that says "Customise active input methods".

- Select the language you require in the drop down and click "Add".

- Choose UK and click "Close".

US flag icon for keyboard should now reflect UK flag icon.
