Stories similar to Fedora 11 LXDE Remix is available

Just did a daily upgrade, via Synaptic, and noticed LXDE was in the mix.

I quit using LDXE/Openbox a couple of months ago, because 'lxsession' was using 100% CPU, sitting idle at the desktop.

If I wished to use LXDE/Openbox, I had to login, disable 'lxsession', then re-enable it later, so I could logout/restart/shutdown et cetera.

Anyway, after today's LXDE upgrade, everything is back to

Hello again,As some of you are probably aware, I deleted a bunch of old LXDE config files from my system yesterday. They were: .config/: lxpanel/, lxsession/, and lxterminal/. In .config/openbox/: lxde-rc.xml. This solved various formatting issues, but strangely enough I'm now having a new problem: Whenever I log in, my screen settings are reset to their defaults and my wallpaper is gone.

I have a .desktop file in .local/share/applications for opening text files in vim (console version). This works perfectly in gnome, unity. In Lxde it fails. I tried using lxterminal in place of gnome-terminal.

Running lxsession-edit opens the Desktop Sessions Settings that allows to decide which programs should start automatically at login.

Running lxsession-logout opens the options to logout, shut down and so on.

In /home/username/.config/lxsession there are 2 directo

So I'm currently running Fedora 17 with LXDE + Openbox, and have recently installed a new icon theme which seems to be working properly. The only issue is, the particular icon pack didn't include an icon for the "Minimize All Windows" (Iconify) item on my lxpanel, meaning (I assume) it simply used a "default" icon for said item.

I have a .desktop file in .local/share/applications for opening text files in vim (console version). This works perfectly in gnome, unity. In Lxde it fails. I tried using lxterminal in place of gnome-terminal. It opens copy of the file and not the file itself (when saving, it asks if I want to replace the original file).

What is wrong?

I have two logins on my box, one for work and the other for personal (I'm on crunchbang).
