Comment 4 for bug 792850

"The screenshot supplied demonstrating the reported issue does not show the default Lubuntu theme, it seems to show an LXDE theme instead."

Correct, and it only happens on the live desktop, not after I've installed. I began discussing this on the mailing list, to which I'd not subscribed in time for Julien's release announcement, but there were three issues regarding casper and/or ubiquity that I didn't experience with Ubuntu:

1) The Lubuntu Alpha1 Live CD boots to a tty, so you have to type startx to get the DE.

2) The default DE lacks restart or shutdown buttons.

3) Upon completing the installation I was asked whether to restart or keep using the Live DE as usual. I chose to restart and the CD ejected as expected but the screen was just blank. So I removed the CD, closed the tray and hit enter, but nothing happened. I tried some common key combos but finally had to use the reset button on my box to complete the restart.

Per Julien's instructions on the mailing list I repeated this procedure, and upon booting to a tty I tried waiting (I took a shower), and I tried to restart lxdm via "sudo service lxdm start", but I'm used to Gnome so I could easily be doing something wrong.

Regardless I could only get X to start by typing "startx" in the tty. Then I end up in what appears to be a pure LXDE.

"Here, a virtualbox 4.0.8 VM running Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Alpha 1 shows the expected Lubuntu theming and the shutdown menu has all the expected buttons."

I'm running on actual hardware, not in a VM. The hardware involved is:

JetWay JATOM-GM1-230-LF Motherboard
Intel Atom 230 CPU @ 1.60GHz
System Memory 2GB DIMM
Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics
Intel N10/ICH 7 Family High Def Audio Controller

"Did you perhaps change themes, and fail to note this in your bug report? "

No. I installed nothing. Well, since Julien requested a screenshot I installed the screenshot tool, but that's all.

Maybe starting from "startx" rather than starting from lxdm starts the wrong session?

Given what Julien said in the release announcement I doubt this is worth spending much time on.
