I am not running Lubuntu. 

I'll check out the size requirement of 

apt-get install lubuntu-default-settings (limited HD=512MB)

I did  see mention in an Arch linux forum about using
startlxde to solve the same issue.  The mention was to put it in,
~/.xinitrc

I'm not sure if the following is Arch specific though, because I have
never seen "ck-launch-session startlxde" syntax in Debian/Ubuntu before.



        Quote: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE
        
        "To use startx you will need to define LXDE in your ~/.xinitrc
        file:
        
        exec ck-launch-session startlxde
        
        This will launch LXDE with HAL support that provides the ability
        to restart or shutdown your computer from the logout dialog."
