lxde crash on start problems (solved)

My harddisk was failing and clone arch to another one, several problems appear:
1) locale in Desktop always set to default, no matter what I do in /etc/locale.d, I normally select utf8. Console login got correct locale.

Another problem posibily related, I'm using xlogindm as display manager (dm) but it worked before and now I don't change it.
2) if I told dm to start from 'starlxde' then session crash on login, and gets closed.
3) if I tell dm to start session from xterm and call starlxde, Desktop start fully
4) if I tell dm star from custom script launching what lxsession do, but without calling lxsession, Desktop star (a little different, because icons, etc) but lxappearence crash if launched. so not a fully Desktop.
I have tried pacman check for looking for changed files, but no binaries were found to differ from package (did this check catch binary diferences?)

something is weird with lxde because I commented a line on starlxde regarding libreoffice preference on another machine (what the hell that there?) and session starting to crash, but solved removing new files created before change to starlxde script (found with 'find -newer')

Thanks for replies.
