I'm still uncertain about this. I still don't want to spend too much
time on maintaining a display manager. Having other people doing the job
is quite confortable :)
The fact that it's working now, doesn't mean it will work in the futur.
The display manager is a complex piece of software, with connexions with
many others parts, which need a lot of testing. Sharing this will be a
advantage.
But yes, it's also confortable to just keep LXDM, and hope it will be ok
for this cycle.

I propose to switch to LightDM for the next alphas, but to confirm the
choice before the Beta 1. If we realize it's too much work, we can still
go back to LXDM.
