Hey, thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, I'm using Lubuntu! Loving
it.

My i3 is configured by "lxsession-default-apps" > "core applications" >
"Windows manager" blank field is set to "i3".

So it looks like an instance of pcmanfm is opened everytime I start a
session. How can I disable it?

Best,
