Thanks! I already got nervous, because all people misunderstood my
request. At least one person... :-)
I'm looking for a display manager. Examples of a display manager
are gdm, kdm, wdm, xdm. The problem with gdm and kdm are only the
dependencies! If you install gdm (or kdm), a huge number of
libraries are installed (and loaded into RAM!). I'm using xdm now,
but it is not as "good looking" as gdm.
The discussion about window managers etc. is interesting, but I'm
already used to XFCE4 and really like it.
So, if someone is going to build a gdm variant with only GTK+ 2.0,
but without all the GNOME libraries, please drop me a message :-)
Cheers, WB
