Other than GDM and KDM, are there any other graphical login managers

hoping that WDM (Wings Display Manager) could do this, but I have not
seen any option on the login screen to connect to a remote machine.
WDM is based on XDM, which does have xdmcp capabilities.
That said, I find both to be very frustrating and feature-poor.
I have a really lean old Toshiba laptop that I am wanting to put a very
minimal Debian installation on and essentially run it as a thin client
connected to a more hefty system. GDM is too resource intensive (I
think) for this old laptop, unless there is a way to get GDM without all
the additional GNOME baggage that normally goes with it.
gdm's GUI is only used before you login. Its daemon is not that resource
intensive.
