Change LXDE keybinding without logging out

When you make edits to ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml to change keybinding, you have two options to make the changes take effect. First option is to logout or second option is to run the following command:

$:  openbox --reconfigure

LXPanel no status bar in Debian Sid/Jessie

I just installed latest Debian Sid/Jessie (testing branch-10/25/2014) and selected LXDE as my desktop environment via network install. The problem was that no start menu or status bar was shown. Seems like a bug somewhere in LXDE but as a workaround do:

$: cp -rp /etc/xdg/lxpanel/profile/LXDE/* ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/
