Found the problem, though I'm unclear what to file the package against. What I can say is that it's not a problem with lxpanel, pcmanfm, xscreensaver, or any other process run in /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart.
The problem is ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart (which I use as suggested in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse#Touchpad_settings to set touchpad settings). Delete the file and everything runs like normal. These settings can easily be put into the global file, but for several reasons it has been suggested to use the per-user file, among them ensuring that the settings stick when do-release-upgrades are performed. Not to mention the possibility that a machine has several users, all of whom want different settings. It looks like autostart is going to be removed in the next release (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-r-lubuntu-work- items) but it sure would be nice to figure this out for Quantal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068640 Title: lxpanel does not start on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/1068640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
