Wizard Before lxdm I had xdm. I never had lightdm though. When it boots it opens lxdm. After I login with lxdm it pops up the annoying message, I click ok and it loads up. Its not a "problem", but it is /very/ annoying. When I use "dpkg-reconfigure lxdm" I get:
insserv: warning: script 'lxdm' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for script `lxdm' insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming empty stop runlevel(s) for script `lxdm'
