You need to man lxpanel :) By default startlubuntu will set up a DE such that lxpanel is run (via the autostart file) with the parameters lxpanel --profile Lubuntu If you need a special separate profile for LubuntuCMP, then create one under ~/.config/lxpanel/LubuntuCMP/ and start up lxpanel with lxpanel --profile LubuntuCMP Then the two profiles are separate, which is what you seem to want. > nor I can get autostart file to work. Which exact file, and what exact contents are you putting in that file? Just saying "It does not work" is really hard to troubleshoot! Please provide clear, specific step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue, and there is a chance someone can duplicate the issue, and then help solve the problem for you. The autostart system is working fine for me... see below. In general, I think you would benefit a lot from spending some time learning more about how the whole X system and DE are started up, in detail, so you are very clear on where to customize what, to achieve the effects you are looking for. If you are doing this for business purposes, you need to thoroughly understand how all this works, well enough to provide good support for it to your customers. Based on the questions you are asking, I suspect that you are not yet ready to do that. Here is a quick and dirty create-toppanel-session.sh script that sets up a new session type Lubuntu-toppanel which has the panel on top, and it is independent of the default Lubuntu session regarding lxpanel configuration. Ten lines of shell script (plus comments). This kind of basic DE customization is pretty straightforward, as long as you understand what is happening within X and LXDE reasonably well. Please now do what I suggested to others before you who have expressed interest in making "pretty" Lubuntu desktop setups -- work together, as a team, and document your work clearly on a wiki page as part of the Lubuntu community. That way, others can benefit from it, and in future some of your work stands a chance of being incorporated back into the official Lubuntu releases. Otherwise all this prettiness will not "reach more users" on any worthwhile scale. Some lines of the script are long and will word-wrap in this email...
