LXDE in particular is Gtk2 based, it's no longer being developed, and 
has been superseded by LXQt. So it's a non-starter (and so is LXQt, 
which should be clear from its name :).

Generally, we have resources for maintaining only one GUI desktop in 
oe-core layer, and right now that is Sato. If you're okay with XFCE, 
that is provided via meta-xfce layer:
