Blueprint changed by Geoffrey De Belie:

Whiteboard set to:
For a login manager, these are our real options:
1) LXDM - sort of unmaintained
2) SLiM: mainained, looks great - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slim01.jpg (SLiM looks very much like LXDM and is fast, too)
3) LightDM: used by Ubuntu, but probably not lightweight enough
4) None: use startx and settings file -> see http://www.enricozini.org/2008/tips/lightweight-autologin/ and http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.be/2011/12/howto-get-right-to-x-with-no-display.html
5) Others (note: many unmaintained): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_display_manager_%28program_type%29#Some_implementations

If everyone is fine with these options, I can setup a Google Form. Feel
free to discuss them first on the mailing list.
