Perfect: everything is exactly as it is supposed to be!

The full CD set and especially its CD1 is GNOME oriented. If you want to 
install a different desktop, then either use one of the other CD images 
(businesscard, netinst, DVD, Blu-ray), or use the special XFCE/LXDE CD.

If you really, really want to you *can* even install LXDE with CD1 (if you 
know you're going to be using a mirror or scan sufficient CDs from the 
set) by adding 'desktop=lxde' as a boot parameter.

For background please see the discussion on the d-cd list in 2008/12.

Cheers,
FJP
