There is a new application available for Natty, called lightdm. This is
a written from scratch application to replace GDM, the current default
display manager(what many of us non-developers know as the login
screen). lightdm is new, and may have bugs. 

We would like feedback on replacing gdm with lightdm for Natty, knowing
it may still have a few issues. GDM is hard to theme, and not real user
friendly in Xubuntu now. The developer of lightdm is very willing to
work with us on features desired and getting bugs fixed. 

- From a user viewpoint, I installed lightdm in place of gdm using natty
in VirtualBox. It worked nicely. More testing would be required, of
couse. 

Thought and opinions on replacing GDM?
