Installing LXDE from source code

Can some one with the knowledge provide this? Interesting topics is

• Where to get the code
  • Stable - those can be downloaded under http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/files/ - unfortunately there is no combined package as of yet.
  • Unstable (dev) - the gitweb interface on the sourceforge site (http://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi) has snapshot archives - click on tree, then on snapshot for each project. Someone should provide a script to automate this.
• What libraries is required - gtk+-2 at least.
• Options
• Careful walk through

Restart? Really?

Why are we being told "Restart your computer" as opposed to simply logging out?

Fedora or other RPM-based distro's

""" This method is likely to work on CentOS (yum), Fedora and Mandriva (urpmi) """

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... NOP !!!

For Fedora... ok, yes. Mandriva... Never installed that distro.

CentOS : There is no LXDE package for CentOS so this does NOT work.

There used to be a page [1] but it was deleted ???

This is what I'm trying right now: [2]
