Hello,
my name is Glenn de Groot and I have been following the Xubuntu, Ubuntu
and Lubuntu projects for almost a year.
My major question always was why Xubuntu doesn´t ship with something
more lightweight than GDM.
The best replacement is LXDM, on google I have seen some information
about LXDM and Xubuntu but it wasn´t chosen because it didn´t run on Ubuntu.
Well at least now it does, it works beautifully in Lubuntu and it is
even themable:

information)
Also, GDM needs 45 dependencies and LXDM 20.
And alot of GDM´s dependencies are gnome ones.
I hope this will be discussed for Maverick :)
