Lubuntu alternative sessions script

Sat Jul 6 18:34:00 UTC 2013

PT-BR!

I edited /etc/xdg/lxsession/lubuntu-osx ; it was like this...

@lxpanel --profile Lubuntu-OSX
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@xfce4-power-manager
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile lubuntu
@/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
-e @compton -cC -r 16 -l -24 -t -12
@cairo-dock

Then I moved this -e, and now loads great...

@lxpanel --profile Lubuntu-OSX
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@xfce4-power-manager
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile lubuntu
@/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 -e
@compton -cC -r 16 -l -24 -t -12
@cairo-dock

Even though, I guess there is a bug on Compton, sometimes shadows are
loaded on panel, and sometimes it's not. Another SS, this time with the
Lubuntu-OSX session. http://s8.postimg.org/ukwoj5jp1/shadow_on_panel.jpg
