that's somewhat easy to do in the meta/lxqt package, instead of having
x11/lxqt/obconf-qt in RUN_DEPENDS one could have
obconf-qt-*|xfwm4-*|kwin-*:x11/lqxt/obconf-qt

with that, installing the lxqt meta package will default to install
obconf-qt (and its LIB_DEPENDS openbox) but it will do fine if xfwm4 or
kwin is already installed (and won't install obconf-qt/openbox)

i despise pulseaudio so never used it, but pavucontrol-qt has a
LIB_DEPENDS on pulseaudio so it should be installed. I dunno if one is
supposed to manually start it from .xsession though.
