Hello,
I installed lxde with the help of sysutils/desktop-installer. I use x11/xdm for login. The ~/.xsession file contains:
Globally, it's working and I'm pleased with this interface. But there are some things that are not working properly.
First, it's easy to change the screen resolution with preference / monitor settings but it does not survive to a logout. Of course, I saved the settings with the "save" button. But when I login, it first set to the resolution I saved and quickly returns to 800x600.
I overcame this by setting a resolution conf file in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. Nevertheless, it isn't normal. Bug or is there something I didn't understand?
Another annoying thing is the creation of an application shortcut on the desktop. Again, very easy to do (just drag and drop an item from the main menu) but when I double-click on the shortcut, a message windows asks "The text file ... seems to be an executable script. What do you want to do with it?". Then, you have to click on "execute" button to launch the said application. I found no way to get rid of this warning (no permission problem, no results in modifing the shortcut file which is actually a text file).
And it's just my first day with lxde. So beautiful, so annoying... Is there somewhere a documentation I shall read before I delete this and shift to another desktop environment?
