For many years I had been loyal to LXDE, doing customized installations
based on lxde-core on top of a minimal base install. It was the most
lightweight DE known to me (and I don't like XFCE's "comic sans"
feeling, nor thunar). So it was clear that I'd try LXQt quite soon -
not only as LXDE's successor, but also as an expression of my pleasure
in the merging of two interesting projects (LXDE and Razor-qt) in times
of "forks everywhere".
As Viverna, I chose to stay with openbox, which had been the LXDE (as
well as ascii LXqt) default - with beowulf, LXqt has changed its default
to xfwm4.
