The variable XDG_CONFIG_DIRS specifies where config files are looked for, and in what order. In my 12.04 VM it is set to /etc/xdg/lubuntu:/etc/xdg-Lubuntu:/etc/xdg so the idea is that the lubuntu specific config files can take precedence over any default LDXE/LXDM config files which are supplied by the lx* packages themselves. Those may be more suited for Debian than for Lubuntu. Why we have lxdm stuff around at all any more by default in 12.04 is a separate issue -- I suspect the answer is mostly that we've not removed it from some of our packages yet. More specifically, the file /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf is installed by lubuntu-default-settings. Myabe it is there "just in case" someone decides to use lxdm instead of lightdm? BTW, why are we discussing this on lubuntu-qa and not lubuntu-users?? Is it really a QA issue?
