LXDE Forums

If it hasn't been mentioned before, because of its small imprint, Lxde is a natural for live-CDs. That download on the front page is a good place to start. I've used it as a basis for customizing.

Thank you somebody. A fresh pcmanfm just came down through the Debian Squeeze repository and it works properly. There must have been a conflict somewhere.

shiki08, I agree with you. LXPanel is one of the reasons I don't go fully LXDE on my base Debian/Openbox system. I don't want an imitation Windows panel complete with a START button menu. Instead I use Pypanel (set transparent) which is much less intrusive.
