[arch-general] xdm and awesomewm incompatibilty

28 Sep 2013

      Hi,

I see that xdm and awesome wm dont go well together. It used to work well 
before. I see after recent package update. awesome wm crashes often. 
After killing xdm, it is back normal again. Has anyone else experienced 
this ? If xdm is buggy, then can someone suggest a good login manager for 
X ? I see gdm brings in gnome-shell and loads of other packages which is 
not directly related to login manager. What i am looking for is just the 
login manager and its dependecies and not the entire DE. I assume kdm 
does the same thing.
The awesome wm & xdm version in my pc is:
awesome 3.5.1-3
xorg-xdm 1.1.11-4

with regards,
ashwin
