Lubuntu 15.10 post-install configuration

After Lubuntu 15.10 was successfully installed, there were still some tweaks I needed to make to be fully satisfied.  Feel free to use or ignore as you see fit:

Run system update via Start > System Tools > Software Updater

Set up video card

Add/Remove applications:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser default-jdk libreoffice thunderbird keepassx audacity git xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra p7zip-full shutter avidemux
sudo apt-get remove gnumeric abiword firefox pidgin sylpheed xpad
sudo apt-get install libdvd-pkg

Change the screen saver: Start > Preferences > Screensaver

Change the launch bar:
Right-click the File Manager icon in bottom left corner > Select Application Launch Bar settings > add Thunderbird, Leafpad, KeepassX and LXTerminal

Change the default view:
Open file manager > Edit > Preferences > General tab > set Default View to Detailed List View

Set Thunderbird to reply to messages above quoted text:

Edit keyboard shortcuts:  sudo leafpad ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml 

after the <!-- Keybindings for desktop switching -->  line add:

<keybind key="C-l">
     <action name="Execute">
           <command>xscreensaver-command -lock</command>
     </action>
</keybind>

then, replace:

   <!-- Take a screenshot of the current window with scrot when Alt+Print are pressed -->
    <keybind key="A-Print">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>scrot -u -b</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>  

with:

  <!-- Take a screenshot of the current window with shutter when Alt+Print are pressed -->
    <keybind key="A-Print">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>shutter -a -e</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

then, replace:

  <!-- Launch scrot when Print is pressed -->
    <keybind key="Print">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>scrot</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>  

with:

    <keybind key="Print">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>shutter -f -e</command>
      </action>
