I gave up on LXDE. I messed around with it a bit more and it seems to have a hard-wired assumption that computers are single-user and single-screen. Besides that, the LXDE community also seems to be rather small/inactive. I posted questions about multi-screen use to the LXDE forum, but the user forum only has a couple of posts per month, and few of them ever get any responses. > Openbox+tint2 looks promising. That's what I've settled on. It took a couple hours of fiddling to setup a startup script, configure the panels, the window manager itself, and build a root window menu that's close enough to my old one that I don't flail about like Donald Trump making fun of the handicapped. For generating an openbox root menu, I recommend obmenu-generator. > I still have to figure out one last tweak to openbox's behavior.
