This was only meant as a temporary solution for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674978 and

Not really, it has a number of problems:
*
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682299
* has some SELinux problems, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635897
* doesn't handle dual screen
* doesn't allow a keyboard selection on the login screen
The latter has changed in git already, I need to update the package.

Personally SELinux drives me up the wall sometimes, yes its nice but
even my own shell scripts occasionally have a problem with it. :(
I do realize it doesn't handle dual screen but doesn't LXDE itself come
with a disclaimer that it isn't a powerful desktop with all the
features that most others have, but rather a more conservative approach
to the desktop?
I do agree though keyboard selection is important though...
