== Known issues ==
As with any software and software collection, Xubuntu has some bugs and issues. These include:
 * Xfce4 Power Manager does not restore screen power (Bug:1259339). You can try running {{{xrandr}}}, which has worked as a problem-free workaround for some users. Alternatively, to restore a working desktop go to TTY1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and restart lightdm with {{{sudo service lightdm restart}}}. '''NOTE: You will lose all unsaved work in progress!'''  It appears that all instances of this bug so far are caused by suspending by closing the laptop lid - suspending from the logout dialog works to the best of our knowledge.
 * Window manager shortcut keys don't work after reboot (Bug:1292290)
 * Sorting by date or name not working correctly in Ristretto (Bug:1270894)
 * IBus is dropped from the default installation due to a high-influencing bug (Bug:1284635); the team looks to get this bug fixed soon and to reintroduce IBus in a future point release. If you are upgrading to 14.04 from a current version in which IBus is still installed but unused - you will need to either set-up IBus for your keyboard layout after rebooting or purge it. Alternatively purge IBus '''before''' upgrading.
 * Due to the switch from xscreensaver to light-locker, some users might have issues with timing of locking; removing xscreensaver from the system should fix these problems
