Source: lxpanel
Version: 0.7.0-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I just installed lxde (via task-lxde-desktop) on a fresh unstable system
with no other desktop environment and then logged in from lightdm. This
left me with a completely empty desktop (except for a trash icon), no
panel visible anywhere.

However an lxpanel process was running, it was started with --profile
LXDE apparently. Killing that process and starting lxpanel without
further arguments gives me a working panel.

Starting lxpanel --profile LXDE from a commandline produces (among
other) an error that it does not find any config files. Since this is a
fresh system there is of course no configuration in
$HOME/.config/lxpanel/profile/LXDE. However Debian seems to have
installed an LXDE profile with configuration files in /etc/xdg/lxpanel.
Except that these are not used. Copying the files from /etc/ into the
users home makes lxpanel --profile LXDE work.

Flagging this as important since the default installation on a fresh
installation leaves the user with an almost unusable desktop.

Andreas
