That's not a good reason. A good reason to use GDM3 might be accessibility. I guess Orca (a speech synth) does work with GDM3, if so, it also makes sense that the dependency chain even does include a sound server as hard dependency. I don't know xdm, I'm using LightDM and I guess it can be used with more or less the same greeters as GDM can be used. So all the options and flashy appearances should be available too, excepted of some very special things. I guess there will be no sound, IOW no Orca for LightDM, but regarding to this, also no hard dependency to a sound server. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
