Re: Newly Created User Account has LogOff button but no Shutdown

maces,
thank you for your reply. I've lent my LXDE netbook to a friend already, and so won't be able to try the "id" until next week. But hope to do so after I get the netbook back.

How come LXDE/Debian does not automatically take care of these things?

lxsession-logout

Re: Change keyboard layout for one user account AFTER logging in

I found the solution:
mkdir -p ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/
cp /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/
leafpad ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
add "setxkbmap us" at the end and save
