Hi, I use both Ubuntu and lubuntu. And so do my friends.
The problem that I am trying to explain, is, basically when it comes to software packages, us Linux users are spoiled for choice. Personally I believe in "divide and rule". When I'm running Ubuntu, the Launcher pretty rapidly fills up. I'd like to be able to tell Ubuntu to have a special kind of entry in the Launcher - not a single programme, but a group of programmes - a container. This will make it easier to set up systems for friends because I could put all the stuff they're interested in on the Launcher and put stuff they should be interested in into a container entry in the Launcher. So if they're rarely going to run games, they could be discretely placed away in some kind of Launcher-container-entry. Also, on lubuntu, the same problem happens, to a degree. There is a hierarchical structure there, with branches for Internet, Office and Games. However, if you install one of the games-finest packages, the "Games" branch quickly uses up its space on screen and you get scroll bars. Not the best way to access things, in my opinion. I would recommend games packages having an extra, sub-category. This will give the GUI a bit more information - instead of always storing something in "Games", you could have some in "Games - Board" or "Games - Arcade" etc. This is less of a problem with big screens. It is particularly noticeable on my NetBook. However, my tallest monitor experiences those problems as well.
