Apparently LXDM is more broken than ever, thanks to its developers and recent changes in package.

The only reasonable solution I see is dropping it and not wasting time fixing it. We did our best, but during 2 years since last release, it could become a zombie. And it did.

I can point at least 2 better alternatives in our repositories: Slim and LightDM. Both are lightweight and providing similiar set of features.

Slim is never a better solution. Also "thanks to its developers and recent changes in package" and "during 2 years since last release" make zero sense taken together. It seems more bugs were created than fixed with the 2000 line git patch that was pulled in recently. Allan
