This greeter does not bring in lot of dependencies as in the case of gdm. The dependecies for this package are just lightdm and gtk. Only issue i am seeing is icon are missing and it shows a `x` in its place. I see it has xdmcp support (cool). Thanks for all for showing me lightdm. with regards, ashwin
