I decided to try a tiling window manager. Since I like emacs and lisp, I chose stumpWM. I installed the package, moved the existing files in /usr/share/xsessions to a backup folder, and made a stumpwm.desktop file containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=stumpwm
TryExec=stumpwm
Name=StumpWM
Comment=Stump window manager
When I switch users, it allows me to choose StumpWM, but the normal lubuntu desktop comes up. Why isn't stump coming up? Thanks in advance!
Edit: I rebooted, now it gives me the error:
:unable to launch "/usr/local/bin/stumpwm" X session ---
"/usr/local/bin/stumpwm" not found; falling back to default session
