If you use autologin, gdm is not that bloated. I tried wdm and xdm before. They lacked features I needed (e.g. for autologin). I also recall SLiM as missing important (for me) features for a previous encounter, but don't recall which. However now that gdm switched to the new sysadmin-unfriendly config XML format, I reconsider using it. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
