Need help installing LXDE

Hello,
I've installed LXDE with the following commands:
pacman -S lxde
mkdir -p ~/.config/openbox
cp /etc/xdg/openbox/{menu.xml,rc.xml,autostart} ~/.config/openbox
pacman -S gamin
But when I go to start the desktop with "exec startlxde", it logs me out of root so I need to log in again. Why is it doing this?

Welcome to the lxde forums. Since you are using pacman, I can assume that you are using Arch or some derivative of Arch. The correct command to install it is:
After installation you can start it by running:
There is no need to run it from a root terminal. If you are having problems with your installation I would refer you to the Arch forums,
