Make a more usable places menu, like it was in Gnome2. Just 'click and open', 
and also make it shows removable-drives.

Make lxpanel show (automatically) the icon theme 'starthere'-icon, instead of 
the ugly button that has now.

Make lxpanel show the panel background that it's included in the gtk-theme 
automatically. Like gnome-panel and xfce4-panel.

Include a session-menu applet to let the user logout, restart or shutdown quick 
from the panel, something like the indicator-session applet, from Ubuntu.

Make the volume applet shows pavucontrol, alsamixer or something, to adjust the 
volume more easily. And also include an option to select the sound theme.

Well, I don't really understand what you mean. lxpanelx has only Application 
Menu and Directory Menu, there is no Places Menu. Perhaps you talk about 
Directory Menu, and 'click and open' means to use plain view instead of tree 
view with subdirectories.

Ok.

Already implemented. Turn on "Background: System theme" in the panel settings.

You can use Directory Menu containing links to scripts that perform the desired 
actions (turn on option "Show files" to see file items in the menu). You can 
also create a custom menu on the base of Application Menu. (This requires 
manual editing of the panel config file with a text editor, as there is no gui 
for this. In fact, Application Menu is not really "an application menu", but "a 
customizable menu, that works as application menu by default".) So I see no 
reason to add session-menu applet or something like.

Ok. I'll add a setting to run a specified application by double-clicking.

Each bug report or feature request should be placed as separate record in the 
tracker. So I close this issue as invalid.
