Yes, I know but some people are easier to convince with the output of a gui tool. Blame DesktopLinux.com for these two articles:

Tomm Says: “It isnt gnome it is LXDE which is a light gtk enviroment”

Yes, it is Gnome. Click on gOS > System Preferences > System Monitor and select the Processes tab. You will see a lot of Gnome processes running but not a single LXDE process.

Maybe it relies heavily on gnome as LXDE is not a complete environment like enlightenment. Also I presume is heavily uses gnome apps so would need all that framework for them

I tried the original gOS and it was nice enough. I mentioned it in my look at distros for new users:

I thought it had Enlightenment Desktop then? Anyway, may be worth another look when the final come out.
Thanks for the review.

A look under /usr/share/xsessions revelas just the files gnome.desktop and ssh.desktop; the only application installed which that is considered as a component of LXDE is lxterminal.
And the following is the output of ps -U bodom_lx command:

Are you sure it is so? I noticed that the panel at the top of the screen was something different from the one provided by gnome, I thought it was just modified, and a dist-upgrade brought in gnome-panel (you can see it in the last screenshot)
