You can ship lightdm without the libraries in which case it won't depend on the graphical libs. I think some other distributions ship the lightdm binary itself, then have separate packages for the greeter libs. Also, I have the gtk greeter installed and no gnome-common, just gtk3 and glib2. Right now the biggest issue with LightDM IMO is that it uses AccountsService -- if installed -- with no config to force it's own users.conf file. > I don't think we can compare slim and lightdm !
