I have the same problem too....but in archlinux ,i can use startx to start lxde...

[wolas]

This is not bug

to start lxde from console type startx or xinit

BUT BEFORE you must edit ~./xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#

# exec gnome-session
#exec startkde
exec startlxde
# exec startxfce4
# exec icewm
# exec openbox
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
# exec ratpoison
# exec dwm
# ... or any other WM of your choosing ...

self explanatory

I have same problem too. I use Pardus 2009 and I installed lxde with its source code.
The packages that I installed:

1-) Openbox 3.4.10
2-) ObConf 2.0.3
3-) lxmenu-data
4-) menu-cache
5-) lxde-common
6-) lxsession
7-) lxpanel
8 -)PCman
9-) gamin

All packages are last version.

After installation when I use startlxde, system does nothing. However I can use this command with different way. First I start openbox by KDM then I use startlxde command in openbox login console(terminal) so I can run lxde by this way. I want to add this, after lxde start, I have no problem with lxde.

Have a nice work.
