Bug Description

Release: Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1
package: lxappearance 0.5.1-1
window manager: JWM

Steps to reproduce:
Change the default font on the first tab, apply changes and exit.
Reopen lxappearance and the font is again what it was before the change was made.

The fact that the changes made in lxappearance are saved in ~/gtk-3.0/settings.ini seems part of the problem.
The directory gtk-3.0 is not hidden, but I guess it should (starting with a dot).
I guess lxappearance is looking for the changes made, but can't find them because they're stored in the wrong place.

It's also the case for xfce, so I guess it's only working well with openbox.

It seems this is related to the lubuntu-default theme. With other themes, everything seems ok. This brings me to the following question: Can I use the lubuntu-default-theme outside openbox without problems?
