thanks for that aus...i will try those methods
i have also found a solution. atm i am starting everyting from command line. if i run startx, the twm window manager is auto started. then when i run startlxde, openbox does not start because twm is already running, so lxde does not behave properly
if i first kill twm then startlxde, ok
what also works is:
Code: Select all
xinit /usr/bin/openbox-session
start lxde
but in both cases no logout available. Now i discover, because lxsession is not running. so if i start with
then logout works and all is good!
a little trial and a lot of error

You can set which window manager lxde uses. Edit ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf and add:
Code: Select all
[Session]
window_manager=COMMAND_TO_START_WINDOW_MANAGER
This will make lxde run COMMAND_TO_START_WINDOW_MANAGER instead of openbox, then you should just be able to put
in your ~/.xinitrc file.
