** Description changed:

+ To reproduce boot a lubuntu desktop installer and select in Install lubuntu 
on the menu. Then press a keyboard shortcut to switch to another workspace 
which are documented on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Keyboard but 
the user has no ui to switch back to the installer other than keyboard 
shortcuts or mouse middle click over desktop. If we launch install from the 
menu with one desktop or launch ubiquity so that it shows up on all desktop 
which can be done in the opebox configuration file this could not lead to users 
with no buttons and a blank desktop.

  Sorry for posting in the wrong place.
  
  I installed Lubuntu 14.04.2 from a USB flash drive. I skipped the "try
  Lubuntu" option and went straight into the install process. After I set
  everything up (wipe everything, 315 GB for the main mount point and 4 GB
  for swap area), I let the computer idle. This was after I picked my
  username and timezone and so on.
  
  It continued the install for about five minutes, then turned off the
  display as a kind of power saving feature. (It was on a laptop, but the
  laptop was plugged in.)
  
  When I came back to check on it, I mashed a few keyboard buttons to wake
  up the PC and activate the display again. This included some of the
  arrow keys. Somehow I pressed a combination for switching the visible
  desktop, because I then saw a window saying I was now on desktop 3. That
  small window closed soon after, and I was left with just a mouse cursor
  with the "loading" mouse cursor animation.
  
  When the install was finished, Lubuntu popped up a window on desktop 3
  (or wherever I was) and told me to restart. So the install still
  completed normally.
  
  But I wonder if it's possible to use that same key combination and ruin
  your chances of a successful install. What if you do it while Lubuntu
  still needs to ask you questions?
