• Add noatime and data=writeback option to ext4 partitions:

# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=f81e706a-06de-4339-a9bf-2f0b0be6a243 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro,noatime,acl 0       1
# /home was on /dev/sda3 during installation

• Install blueman, alternate bluetooth manager
• Share bluetooth keyboard with Windows, see Windows 7
• Configure xterm. First edit ~/.Xresources:

XTerm*foreground: rgb:00/00/00
XTerm*background: rgb:ff/ff/dd
Xterm*saveLines: 4096
xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12
xterm*VT100.geometry: 132x40

... then update X resource database:

xrdb ~/.Xresources

• Bluetooth keyboard has wrong layout if started after X. Add a .desktop file on desktop to fix that manually (~/Desktop/kbdbe.desktop):

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Set Belgian Keyboard
GenericName=Utility
Comment=Set your layout to 'be'
Exec=/usr/bin/setxkbmap be
Icon=keyboard
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo;Video;Player;TV;

Actions=Fullscreen;Standalone;

[Desktop Action Fullscreen]
Name=Open in fullscreen
Exec=/usr/bin/setxkbmap be
OnlyShowIn=Unity;

[Desktop Action Standalone]
Name=Open in standalone mode
Exec=/usr/bin/setxkbmap be
