Israel:

Is there something in the repository you install to build your own 
theme?  If so, what is the package name I should use (or search-for)?

Using Synaptic Package Manager, searching for 'lubuntu', I do not see 
anything that resembles "lubuntu session settings daemon".  Do you know 
what the package name is for it?
