Strange. Never used LXDE, but KDE and Xfce I never had such a problem |
| 7 |
with startx. Anyway, if you're serious about using it, probably |
| 8 |
you'll want xdm and likely slim (since you're running something |
| 9 |
lightweight). Yeah, I ran "startx" for two years because I'm that |
| 10 |
lazy, but anyway, it's a good idea. |

From XDM you can get a terminal if you want. This is only at best a |
| 13 |
work around (or indication of deeper problems), but you may try it. |

Just make sure you edit slim.conf for your login_cmd since for zsh you |
| 16 |
get a little wrecked if you don't... |
