illustration: I tried to install Japanese as extra language. I could install Japanese, but the option to select an input manager like Ibus is gone. When I installed IBUS, ibus-Anthy and Japanese Takao fonts like takao mincho, takako gothic, I still could not select the input method from Ibus itself. On mint 13 no problem, here I am a little lost.
As Linux Mint comes with VLC preinstalled, should we advise people that if they use external optical disk drives, in VLC, they should go into Tools -> Preferences -> Input & codecs -> then under optical drive -> change “/dev/dvd” to to “/dev/sr0″

OK - In keyboard settings -> User defined keyboard shortcuts, three phrases are shown when hovering above the keyboard binding.

Ok - If Open menu when mouse hovers is selected, right-clicking the menu and moving the mouse upwards to select Configure often leads to the menu opening and the right-click menu disappears before it can be clicked. Doing it a couple of times in succession finally allows one to clicking Configure – it varies how may times I have to try before I succeed.
OK - Remove mate-user-share? In Control Center, Shared Folders and User Share seem to duplicate and don't work well together. I have noticed that Shared Folders (from the Control Centre) will not save any shares I add.
Mint menu is uncklickable when using compiz. It will open through mouse click and shortcut, but clicking on an entry in the menu will just close the menu without any action.
Using composition “When clicked”, the mintmenu feels like it is behind the panel. On the other hand the window of the panel indicators is above the panel.
mintmenu: Multiple Menu Entries – The menu has two entries for gnome-disk, libreoffice draw, and mate-volume-control in the ‘All’ category. This will appear when you first log into the system, but will disappear if you search through the menu and then look in the ‘All’ category
