Hi,

I'm looking for a nice display manager (for XFCE4).  My
expectations are:

* good looking :-)  (GTK+ 2 preferred)
* small (not hundreds of dependencies on GNOME, KDE, ...)
* remote capable (XDMCP support)
* "system menu" (reboot/shutdown)

Considered so far:

gdm - best so far, but much too many dependencies on GNOME
kdm - not installed, too many dependencies on Qt/KDE
pdm - seems to be a graphical login w/o XDMCP, still GTK+ 1
wdm - works, but I had problems with "system menu", not sure
      about XDMCP
xdm - works, but is ugly, IMHO

My preference would be gdm minus GNOME, but maybe other
Debian users have better ideas?  If nothing helps, I will
use xdm.

Cheers, WB



I use gdm because I start multiple X servers to support multiple users with Backstreet Ruby. It is the only display manager who does that right. (i.e. not all at once and when stopping in reverse not all at once) I don't have gnome installed as session manager but fvwm as window manager. I just install gdm and that's all.


Hugo.
