Notes fails to launch in any language locale
Install Notes as a root user, then edit the
/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/rcplauncher.properties file, and change
"config.notes.8=en

Open document may not get focus when using new window mode
When using the Window Management theme "Launch each document in its own window", the focus may
not be restored to a document window if it's already open in a new window. When attempting to open the
document, it may appear as if nothing is happening. Move or minimize the main application window to
find the open document behind the main window, or find the document window in the system tray and
click on it to restore the window.

Overall performance on Linux worse than on Windows
Overall, performance is still worse running Notes 8 on Windows than on Linux, especially startup and exit
speed. The startup speed may be quite low on a Linux system with many fonts installed.
