On my computer I have a neat little Lubuntu installation running. It loads a nice LXDE desktop themed with the nice Lubuntu theme whenever I use lxdm to login. When I use the startlxde command to start LXDE however, the desktop session that gets loaded is a default, bare bones LXDE session which appeals less to my taste. Kind of a shame!

The reason that I use startlxde to start a session is that I'm attempting to log on remotely using NX. I need to supply a command to NX that starts up an X desktop it can use, and startlxde does just that. But as stated above doesn't load the right theming and lxpanel configurations unfortunately.

Is there a way to load the same Lubuntu configuration (with the proper theming and lxpanel settings) as lxdm does when I log on over NX?

I connect to Lubuntu using NoMachine's client under Windows 7. Under your NX client connection under the Desktop area, select "Custom", then click on settings. Just be sure the settings look like this:

NXClient Settings for Lubuntu

Now connect and you're ready to go.

    I did not have the startlubuntu command. I had to use lxsession -s LXDE instead. Also, it is important to have the New virtual desktop box checked.
