If you want the widgets (buttons, progress bars etc...) that is GTK, which I don't know a whole lot about. If you are talking about window borders, etc.. that is openbox. Openbox themes are simple xml files, that you can edit by hand (or programatically if you fancy).
Before you go downloading Geany for some Openbox fun try out: http://box-look.org/ You can also browse for GTK themes: http://xfce-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100 (If I remember Lubuntu might support GTK3 also... but I don't know for 100% sure off the top of my head) I hope this helps I think the package with the issue is related to the lxsession package.... but Rafael, or one of the developers may have a better idea what part is actually the problem. -- Regards
