ubiquity: crypted swap: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=201025#p1050041
replace
# Add crypttab entry
echo “cryptswap$i UUID=$uuid /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256″ >> /etc/crypttab
with
# Add crypttab entry
echo “cryptswap$i UUID=$uuid /dev/urandom swap,offset=8,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256″ >> /etc/crypttab
without “offset=8″, a freshly installed Linuxmint finds the cryptswap and then destroys its UUID. On reboot, the UUID is gone and the swap partition cannot be found anymore. The offset should fix that problem.
ubiquity: select fastest repositories based on location
check if libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a should be installed (reported missing in Cinnamon 17.1 32-bit). Missing lib creates problems for VMware Player (missing menus) and changing Themes.
integrate nemo-preview
ship with nemo extensions, disable them by default (using overrides)
restore menubar in terminals
MATE/Xfce: provide QT5 override in /etc/X11/Xsession.d to make it use GTK style

cinnamon:
window preview stuck: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4750
gnome-system-monitor moves out of the place in Expo
snap window on 2nd monitor, then try to a maximize another window on 2nd monitor -> broken window frame
In 2.6 the sound applet successfully hid Amaroks tray icon, this is not the case anymore.
When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor.
hovering over notifications which have buttons/widgets should not dim them ...
brightness and keyboard brightness OSDs not consistent with sound volume OSD
hidpi issues:
Windows previews are nice but they are too small (not sure if this is only on HiDPI) – is there a way to make them bigger?
Top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280)
When HiDPI is off, logging in for the first time after comp startup happens within 1-3 seconds. With HiDPI it takes a clear 5-10 seconds. Is there a way to speed this up?
mate:

kde:
mint kde 17.2 with asus ux303LA. On HDMI, can't clone screens, can't play sounds on tv. Both problems are solved by installing kde-workspace-randr. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kscreen/+bug/1213753 for details.
