[SOLVED] Metacity autostart programs without GNOME

Hi,
I would like to use a session with metacity + lxpanel (starts from LXDM)
then I have edited my .dmrc:

$ cat ~/.dmrc
[Desktop]
Session=metacity

it works, but when I login my session (default) from LXDM, there is only metacity with nothing. how can I add "lxpanel" on start?
I tryed to put "lxpanel.desktop" on" ~/.config/autostart" but it doesn't work.

Someone can help me?
Thanks.

I SOLVED with a workaround:

$ cat ~/.dmrc
[Desktop]
Session=/home/pippo/dm.sh

$ cat ~/dm.sh
metacity &
lxpanel

Re: [SOLVED] Metacity autostart programs without GNOME

i have a problem with "lxde-logout" of lxpanel: it doesn't work good, when i press "logout" nothing happens ("Shutdown" and "Reboot" work)
maybe i need to edit "/etc/lxdm/PostLogout"?

$ cat /etc/lxdm/PostLogout
#!/bin/sh
#
# Note: this is a sample and will not be run as is.
test -x /usr/bin/pax11publish && /usr/bin/pax11publish -r
# Terminate current user session
/usr/bin/loginctl terminate-session $XDG_SESSION_ID

# Restart lxdm
#/usr/bin/systemctl restart lxdm.service

(screenshoot takes from google images)
