Lubuntu alternative sessions script

[Andre Rodovalho]

Script worked quite nice, but cairo-dock don't like my notebook specs... It
was complaining about OpenGL, and I had to set up some "fake transparency
thing"

Another thing, Compton on my 13.04 is not stable too. Sometimes it breaks
manu-cache, and the "start" menu gets hidden (I use the panel on the left).
The transparency and shadows sometimes goes to lxpanel too... My configs
for that matter are: "compton -i 0.6 -e 0.6 -f -I 0.065 -O 0.065 -D 6 -m
0.9  -G -b"

Some SS to clarify
