Or Xfce4 users, the upcoming xfce4 release is gtk2, and only after that the migration to gtk3 will start. so a gtk2-greeter will be apreciated until xfce drop gtk2, and dont forget that LXDM is now presumably unmaintained or in low maintainance since they migrate to QT > >If there aren't any objections by the end of the week, I'll proceed with my >proposal. > Me >Cheers, -- *Pablo Lezaeta*
