Description andrea florio 2009-12-05 18:21:15 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-3.1 Firefox/3.5.5

This bug is related to openfate feature #307729

Since LXDE is now a fully working Desktop Enviroment, i would like to maintain and provide this DE into our OSS repo. and of course allow users to install it directly from DVD.choosing "other" option on DE selection.

LXDE is very lightweight and actually is better than xfce on old computers.
It provides everything need for a daily pc usage and IMHO is much even easier that XFCE.

Consider that distro like Mandriva already provide it and Ubuntu is working on Lubuntu official distro

Reproducible: Always

You seem to misunderstand how factory is developed, see here:
