XFCE -> Slim - it should be > so! >=20 > I=E2=80=99m just sad that such a distribution has fallen into disrepair := ( I am not aware that having GDM being the default entails the=20 distribution to be in a state of "disrepair". The terminology you have=20 chosen indicates that this is either a behavior that can not be modified=20 or replaced. Both of which are possible. You are free to replace GDM=20 with SLIM, as I have done so by simply adding SLIM to your services.=20 This will replace GDM, easily. You may not like the default behavior of GDM being the "default". But=20 this is a reasonable default none the less and is easy to switch as you=20 see fit using our declarative configuration system. If you need help in achieving this, do not hesitate to ask. I am here to=20 help. It also seems you replied to me off the list, so I am cc'ing the=20 list back into the conversation. Thanks, Brett Gilio
