I don't think the ayatana project is implemented in other
Desktop-Environments than GNOME - like LXDE. Popper is designed for
Ubuntu >= 10.04 because it uses the messaging-menu - that was the
initial idea of Ralf: a mail notificator that integrates in the
messaging-menu.

Good - but is there also GNOME-Keyring installed?

Hint(no support:) What does your shell say if you type in

dpkg --get-selections | grep keyring

> Popper does not start in the LXDE environment.
You said you have seen the use of Popper in Ubuntu. What are you
expecting in Lubuntu? Where shall you interact with Popper other than
the Messaging-Menu? In the newest version 0.26 there is given the option
to configure a desktop display, but like i said before: Popper is
designed for GNOME and if you want to use it under LXDE maybe it is
possible but it's not our intention - so it's up to you if you want to
use it there, but you are using it experimental then, without our
support. So please stop asking for support here. I'm sorry your
Desktop-Environment isn't supported by us. If you are/know a/some
python-programmer/s that want to help us making Popper ready for other
Desktop-Environments (or generally want to help) please contact us ;-).
Help is very welcome!
