  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 (NoDM)
  5) Others (note: many unmaintained): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_display_manager_%28program_type%29#Some_implementations

  I would assert that the requirement to be 'user friendly' conflicts with the desire to include 'minimal packages'.  WindowsXP users will want a drop-in-and-go replacement OS.  Let the discussion begin.
