Besides lxde , what else do I need

[mich]

I have a working installation of Debian (testing) gnome and if I do a "aptitude install lxde".
Believe that everything will work seamlessly.
Will be trying out soon

Wondering if I installed only lxde on Debian (using the debian-500-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso), without the original gnome installation,
what other packages will I need to install to get a fully working desktop that can play the usual stuff (desktop for home with kids) ?
e.g. gstreamer ?


Hope to get some advise from the experts here

Hmm, it just depends on your needs. But at least I would recommend a web browser (Firefox/Iceweasel) and some kind of multimedia application. I like audacious for music and (g)xine for videos.
But it only depends on your needs.

get compiz fusion running that always comes in handy

Maybe LXDE is installed to save some resources. And compiz would eat them again.
