I tried this (using 64-bit packages), but had a strange problem - cpu load constantly at 100%, according to the lxpanel applet and the lxde system monitor app (and the sound of the fan!). But gnome system monitor, top/htop and 'ps aux' report nothing unusual.
I googled around and found a couple of similar experiences with different distros. Nothing helpful though. Hmm.. This post has been edited by spoovy: Aug 8 2011, 08:31 PM -------------------- |

I haven't tried to build LXDE for SL6 (yet -- may at some point, but IceWM isn't bad, so I may never grow the motivation), but I've found that building some Fedora goodies for SL6 occasionally requires building in a specific Fedora 12, 13 or 14 environment to get packages to work correctly without coming up with unlisted dependencies or dependency collisions.
You may want to try Fedora 12 or 13 packages to get LXDE on 64 bit before completely throwing in the towel or committing to a personal rebuild. |

Thanks i did try a couple of alternatives but like you I decided to stick with ice in the end. Not worth the amount of effort I was putting in just to get a couple of extra features.
