lxde with openbox is the choice the Raspberry Pi lot made for a very low powered 
device to be used by Linux noobs ... it behaves itself quite well and is very 
lightweight. I haven't seen these issues, but only sometimes run X (I usually 
use ssh, network sockets, gpio or triggerhappydeamon to control it ... and use 
ssh -X for apps which need a window to edit them, Pd patches for example).

Attached is the ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml with plenty of comments etc for 
reference.
