I agree that there is no easy solution: however, since security is a major issue, it would perhaps be a better option to have a secure browser as the default, and wait while midori gets to speed. Other than this one issue, I find midori to be a pretty good option, fast and lightweight. But security is a major issue, especially for the user who will not be installing much more beyond the basic system. Just my thoughts. > Another problem is that midori doesn't support the java plugin, that's > why I left java out of the LXDE Spin.

The trouble with xload (the load monitor) is that it does not show me what the multiple cores/CPUS are doing at a time. However, I can not figure out how to put in xosview in the panel so that it would show me the CPU, memory and swap usage. Do you know? I think other users may also benefit, so something similar to this could be considered for inclusion in the default LXDE spin for F13? Despite my suggestion(s) here, I also wonder if we can make the spin smaller by getting rid of redundant gnome/xfce packages. As LXDE matures, this should be more possible. Thanks again for the great work!! Keep it up!
