| In Linux Lite 2.2 64 bit iBus has weird extra layouts that seem unnecessary |

Hello
The version of Linux Lite is 2.2 64 bit.
First some information on how I use iBus on my system.
I use an Estonian keyboard layout.
iBus seams to insist on leaving English permanently there although I don't use it as my layout of choice.
So it kind of has quadrupled the English part after I added the Estonian layout to it (and changed to Estonian as the default in iBus).

Any suggestions on how to remove those unnecessary English layouts?
Thank you in advance,

Hello Linux Lite Gurus
So I installed the latest Dropbox that there is when currently posting this issue.
The first time starting after the install all was fine and I saw the Dropbox icon on the Panel.
A few restarts later the Dropbox Icon was gone. But when I look at Task Manager the application is running like it should.
Any ideas why this is happening and is there a fix for this disappeared Dropbox Icon?
Thank you in advance,

| Window border issue with Lite Cleaner when compton enabled |

Hello Linux Lite devs
Discovered an "Lite Cleaner" issue when using compton compositor.
http://imgur.com/rw3R8gh
I'm using this compton configuration: ( any suggestion from compton gurus? )
Code: backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";
# These are important. The first one enables the opengl backend. The last one is the vsync method. Depending on the driver you might need to use a different method.
# The other options are smaller performance tweaks that work well in most cases.
# You can find the rest of the options here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/perf-guide, and here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/vsync-guide
# Shadow
shadow = true; # Enabled client-side shadows on windows.
no-dock-shadow = true; # Avoid drawing shadows on dock/panel windows.
no-dnd-shadow = true; # Don't draw shadows on DND windows.
clear-shadow = true; # Zero the part of the shadow's mask behind the window (experimental).
shadow-radius = 7; # The blur radius for shadows. (default 12)
shadow-offset-x = -7; # The left offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-offset-y = -7; # The top offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-exclude = [
"! name~=''",
"n:e:Notification",
"n:e:Plank",
"n:e:Docky",
"g:e:Synapse",
"g:e:Kupfer",
"g:e:Conky",
"n:w:*Firefox*",
"n:w:*Chrome*",
"n:w:*Chromium*",
"class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'",
"class_g ?= 'Cairo-dock'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-notifyd'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-power-manager'"
];
# The shadow exclude options are helpful if you have shadows enabled. Due to the way compton draws its shadows, certain applications will have visual glitches
# (most applications are fine, only apps that do weird things with xshapes or argb are affected).
# This list includes all the affected apps I found in my testing. The "! name~=''" part excludes shadows on any "Unknown" windows, this prevents a visual glitch with the XFWM alt tab switcher.
# Fading
fading = true; # Fade windows during opacity changes.
fade-delta = 4; # The time between steps in a fade in milliseconds. (default 10).
fade-in-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading in. (default 0.028).
fade-out-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading out. (default 0.03).
#no-fading-openclose = true; # Fade windows in/out when opening/closing
detect-client-opacity = true; # This prevents opacity being ignored for some apps. For example without this enabled my xfce4-notifyd is 100% opacity no matter what.
# Window type settings
wintypes:
{
tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; };
};
Thank you in advance,

| How to set up Lenovo Thinkpad T430's network devices to be efficient? |

Hello Network gurus of Linux Lite
This question may seem a bit odd. But I've noticed that Linux network drivers are sometimes not very efficient. Especially the wireless module drivers.
So I want to know if there are some specific tweaks that can make a difference to those modules?:
pci@0000:00:19.0 eth0 network 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
pci@0000:03:00.0 wlan0 network Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]
wwan0 network interface 3G WWAN H5321gw
And I prefer not to use proprietary windows drivers.
Thank you in advance,
vaikus84

Hello Display tweakers of Linux Lite
Has anyone experience in setting up a Lenovo Thinkpad T430's display properly?
*ICC profile ( laptop display color profile )
*So that display brightness is remembered for Battery and AC use (separate values)
*So that display brightness is remembered after restart, sleep, hibernate, shutdown
*f.lux software usage good or bad? https://justgetflux.com/
*Maybe something else that I don't know about
Thank you in advance and better vision for you all,

Hello fellow lappy power users
Does someone know how to specifically set up a Lenovo Thinkpad T430's keyboard under Linux Lite? So that all keys function properly including the Function and Special keys like the ThinkVantage, Sound Mute, Mic mute buttons? (FN + Wifi sign button / F7 -- FN + Camera and Headset sign / F6 -- FN+ Lock sign / F3) and the other ones too?
Possibly some advice on what the ThinkVantage button is best used for under Linux Lite?
Thank you in advance,

Hello Fellow lappy users
What would be the best way for tweaking TLP power manager under Linux Lite 2.2 64 bit? Do I need to disable some tweaks that could conflict with it?
The goal is to have balanced usage and power consumption and to generate less heat with my lappy.
Do I need to post some hardware info and what would those commands be?
Thank you in advance,
vaikus84
