I'd prefer something X11 based if possible. Has anyone tried lxdm? It
looks good and only depends on Gtk. Seeing as XFCE depends on Gtk
that's not an issue for me.

This looks like the way to go, if there's no more dissenters or better

On to the first order of business. As the subject says, what should
security team be called. Hopefully we can get a few suggestions and
then reach a consensus. Arch Linux Security Task Force just sounds like
too much of a mouthful to me.

Does anyone agree with this? If so how do I go about requesting the
creation of such a list? The list would be for discussion
around security in Arch, implementations and user/dev input etc. It

The motivation behind creating these packages was to be able to use
gstreamer based apps without GNOME dependencies. In my case I wanted
to be able to use XFCE's media player Parole and the Decibel Audio
player.
