Login screen does not work; must log in via terminal and then startx

[Charles Ford]

I was running lubuntu 13.04 and wanted to see how gnome worked on my machine. (iBook G4)

I installed it and was unable to log in via the login screen. Then i tried uninstalling. It still didn't work, and I didn't have a whole lubuntu-desktop package anymore. I reinstalled lubuntu-desktop and gnome, attempting to fix the problem.

I'm going to reinstall and reattempt installing multiple desktop environments.
