Hi, Replacing GDM for LightDM was a smart move. (You can make it look like GDM; here's a hand: https://goo.gl/WpMrYg) If you like GNOME and would still like to use it, I recommend changing vm.swappiness to a higher value (default is 60). In my case I found that changing it to 80 solved most of my unresponsive DE issues - although I use Cinnamon, and I have 8GB of RAM. YMMV.
