It is working fine in my dev machine ("LFS-7.5-svn").
$ cat /etc/lfs-release

Bruce, I am trying to understand your lxde problem. Will make comments
and suggestions, hoping some of them could help.
There was an sed in lxde-common that I removed, my tests and inspections
indicate that it is doing nothing anymore:
sed -e "s:@prefix@/share/lxde/pcmanfm:@sysconfdir@/xdg/pcmanfm/LXDE:" \
-i startlxde.in &&
Could be the reason for the failure, but I doubt.
You can test the desktop (pcmanfm in LXDE, nautilus, in gnome) and the
panel with the following commands, run from an x-terminal, in an openbox
session:
lxpanel --profile LXDE &
pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE &
First one should start the panel.
Second one should give you the default LXDE blue background displaying
"LXDE" and some more text, embedded in the image.
I have built dev long ago, and have duplicate files. Since updating
lxde-common, I am trying to understand what is being used, with relative
success. This is the reason for some of the questions. At the same time,
trying to instate each of them could be a good test. Here are the files:
$ find ~ /etc/ -type f -name pcmanfm.conf -o -type f -name autostart
2>/dev/null | xargs ls -lrt | grep -v openbox

I use gvfs, because it gives the trash. Also upower and udisks2, (IIRC)
the former is needed for some logout entries in lxsession.
I am far from reaching the stage to build LXDE in LFS-7.6-rc1, so for me
it is going to take some time until I can hit te problems myself.
