Tools updated

After a revieweing and tuning process (by the one who never sleeps, Julien Lavergne) the additional tools for Lubuntu has been updated. There are changes in version numbers (lubuntu-control-center 0.3 and lxkeymap 0.3) and wheight (recompiled and reduced unneeded size). Now the tools are from the official Lubuntu Desktop PPA (ensuring compatibility). Jump to the tools section and download while hot!
