Mail and mailing lists are searchable.  The others, aside from the 
disadvantages prominently in the news lately are ephemeral.  Basically a 
black hole for information.  It goes in and is gone.

Well Jörn mentioned that LXDM was buggy.  I mentioned that CDM is not in 
the Ubuntu repositories.  That does not leave much since most of the 
others (GDM, KDM, XDM) seem to have been tried already.

It's always a good idea to save space, but with the display manager, there 
is unlikely anything we can change to at this point in time unless you 
would try porting CDM or fixing LXDM so it could be evaluated.  LXDM is in 
the repository.
