Lucid Lynx: after install tidbits (III)

Another one on the configurations and programs I usually add after a Lucid base install on a desktop, that is, my desktop ;)

/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons --type bool true
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type bool true
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_icons_size small-toolbar --type string
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style icons --type string
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme Emacs --type string
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds --type bool false


sudo aptitude install openvpn emacs23-nox pidgin wmctl openssh-server unrar rar ttf-droid


Thru Ubuntu Software Center:
- Install:

Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (dummy package)
Flash plugin Adobe
VLC
gip

- Remove:

Games (all of them)
Empathy
Gwibber


- Firefox addons:

Tiny Menu
Flash Block
AdBlock


- Gnome Global Menu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:globalmenu-team
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install gnome-globalmenu

Logout from your Gnome session, log back in; add Global Menu to the Main Panel.
Logout once again, and then back in, due to this bug
