Caught that yesterday, thanks. Apart from making the text a little more difficult to read, I don't see an advantage to the layout.

In aptitude, the signal to remove lightdm invokes a dependancy conflict with resolutions, "Remove task-lxde-desktop" or "cancel removal of lightdm". For now I want to keep the desktop environment and will leave lightdm with autologin. Eventually might ditch the DE. Thanks, ...
