Bug Description
After a fresh install of Lubuntu 10.10 I was presented with an Xsession error. The only changes I made from a completely fresh install was to make the installation try to autologin and to use an existing /home directory.
When booting up the first time after the installation I was presented with the error reading:
xsession: unable to launch "gnome-session" X session: X session not found, falling back to default session
If I clicked the "OK" button it would drop me into some version of X where I had access to nothing but a blank screen with a cursor and I had to reset the power to the machine to get it back.
To workaround this I booted into rescue mode and went to command prompt. From there I went into /etc/xdg/
It would seem it was defaulting to try and use gnome for some reason somewhere instead of going to lxde as it should have.
I apologise if this report is incomplete I have not reported many bugs before. Please leave comments of anything else you want me to add.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you attached the files /etc/xdg/ lubuntu/ lxdm/lxdm. conf, /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf and /etc/lxdm/ default. conf to this bug report ? It seems that it tried to launch an Openbox-Gnome session, which is impossible if you don't have gnome-session installed. But, by default, it should fallback to LXDE session.
