Latest LXDE for Ubuntu 9.04

9.10 is just around the corner in a couple of months, or less, but if you
want to try out the latest LXDE, here is the info:

First, add the ppa key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F9D8BC54

Then add the following to the end of /etc/apt/sources.list
-------------------------
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/shiki/lxde/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/shiki/lxde/ubuntu jaunty mainw
-------------------------

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install lxde

The lxde in 9.04 is pretty buggy, so if you want to try out Lubuntu
without all the hassle, this is the way to do it. Just select "lxde" in
your display manager, or "startlxde" in your .xinitrc if you startx.
