Too bad only xfce has this feature...
Thanks !

Something is very wrong with that number. Can you please post the full terminal output of the command that generated the message "4,434 MB of additional disk space" to install Xfce? Also I'm curious to see the output of:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

since I am starting to get the sensation there is something strange/non-standard about your system.

Since yeay said "probably", I'm guessing the numbers were an exaggeration?

I was only starting with #! back then, so I installed the XFCE version.
I have never installed crunchbang-multi-session and when I try now (OB version upgraded to backports) this is what apt-get proposes.

This will anyway happen if you update && upgrade, no matter if with or without multisession. 110 packages, this is the Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 upgrade of October 5th or so. No way will this take up 4GB space. Please make a

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

without proceeding, and post the output here, thanks

Conclusion:
Without configuring one of the 2 conf files mentioned in post 6 of this thread, lxsession does nothing at all.
I have commented it out in $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart.sh.
Closing this thread.

Was there ever a SOLUTION to this? Or did we just give up and forget about it? If the latter, why is it marked SOLVED?

Does it matter? It was a previous release, using a different session manager, and a different display manager using a previous version of autostart, and it was a LOOOOONG time ago.

I've probably still got a problem with a windows .bat file on a floppy somewhere, but I don't lose any sleep over it ]:D
