I think this is definitely a bug.  It seems like the Default
applications for LXsession (I'll call this DAL) is doing something to
break the compatibility with the /etc/xdg/autostart folder, and possibly
other autostart functions.  I am not sure if this worked during the
Alpha stage of Lubuntu 14.04....  I do remember the DAL did not work
right at all in the alpha stages....  so... maybe when fixing one
problem another crept in.
Does anyone else remember if the update manager worked during that time?
I know running
sudo apt-get update
*should* bring up the update manager and tell you that you can install
some updates.
during the Alpha, I always ran the commands manually as I was doing
other things in the terminal anyway....  But I don't recall if it
brought up the update manager.  I was testing out a few flavors, so I
can't remember what is what back then.
