[ltp] TFT matrix cleaning

[David Cox]

I just ran into having to do this as someone very unasked decided to touch
my screen multiple times.

After researching on the net I've found the following worked for me:

Get tissues with no additives and that don't leave lint trails
Moisten it with eaither bottled water or tap water (the less additives the
better)

Using up and down motions only use a dry tissue on the screen to get the
dust off, and then applying very little pressure using the same up and down
motion only, use the damp tissue. For the stubborn spots don't rub harder
just repeat lightly until you're happy.

It's very disconcerting to have fingerprints and smudges on a TFT but that's 
worked for my t23 and some flat panel all-in-one pcs.

If you're still unsure try looking around on google.com for other answers or
look at the access thinkpad information that says the same as above but with
a lint free cloth.
