So...
Yes, I'd prefer a traditional desktop.
You'll probably be able to use LXDE as well as it's in the ARM repositories, but you'd lose access to the tight integration between Android and Ubuntu. You might even lose access to the Android programs on the Lubuntu desktop.
You see, things that are difficult to implement in an old-fashioned desktop such as LXDE, are very easy to implement in Unity.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
