Asunto: Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDM or Lightdm ?
Para: Julien Lavergne <gilir@xxxxxxxxxx>


(Sorry for my English)
My littler opinion:
Use lxdm for this cycle (We have used for long time and seen to be fine,
also study the lightDM performance and let less work for developers for this
cycle).
Use lightDM for the next cycle (Developers will have more time for develop
and study lightDM)
