In Fedora, /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf controls autologin - looks like it's CLI only.

Nothing like distro-specific division of package components to complicate things - Fedora supplies the needed components in gtk2-engines.

I ran lxappearance then selected the Clearlooks widget theme

Not sure about Lubuntu, but on my system (Fedora LXDE spin) both lxsession-edit (the Advanced Options tab) and ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf both show the wm as openbox-lxde. Interestingly, changing the wm in lxsession-edit does not change the wm in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf.

I've seen two instances of nm-applet from time to time as I check out various distros. It's definitely not just an Ubuntu thing. The problem seems to occur only when I start out with a desktop other than LXDE and then try to install LXDE. My best guess is that it's due to nm-applet.desktop showing u...

In Fedora, the lxde-logout.desktop file causes the execution of the script /usr/bin/lxde-logout which executes the binary file l xsession-logout . However, it appears that we're dealing with a translatable string here (I found the file /usr/share/local/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/lxsession.mo...

And in order to make this a complete thread, could you please tell us what should be written inside that file? Whatever works ;) As root, run Xorg -configure :1 This will create the file /root/xorg.conf.new . Ideally, one should just be able to copy this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X (or rebo...
