That's what http://lxqt.org/about/ says: "Historically, LXQt is the product of the merge between LXDE-Qt, an initial Qt flavour of LXDE, and Razor-qt, a project aiming to develop a Qt based desktop environment with similar objectives as the current LXQt. LXQt was first supposed to become the successor of LXDE one day but as of 09/2016 both desktop environments will keep coexisting for the time being." Nevertheless I like Xfce better, mainly because in my opinion it has more and better panel add-ons and it feels slightly better. But, like I said, it's just a matter of taste. > Probably I was using the same here, thanks for reminding me.

I did some research at the time but I forgot. They both do it. With slim you need to add these two lines into your /etc/slim.conf: sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY %user sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY %user But if I recall correctly this was already added by default on Gentoo. But it's possible that I had to add them myself and just forgot it. I haven't tested lightdm on Gentoo, yet. But on my Raspberry Pi on which I currently run Arch Linux (despite systemd) it does it out-of-the-box. On Debian based Distributions there seems to be a bug. Heiko
