Hi all,
I installed LXDE on a no-X, no-desktop virgin network Wheezy 64bit
install with non-free software allowed, and on the next boot it went
into lightdm. The only thing I could find that installed and required
lightdm was LXDE. I uninstalled LXDE, installed Xfce, installed
whatever bestows startx, and bang, X from the CLI command line, no *dm
needed.
1) Am I correct that Debian's LXDE package installs lightdm?
2) Does that come from the LXDE project, or is it a Debian thing?
3) Is there a way to turn off LXDE's install of lightdm?
The whole reason I'm switching from Xubuntu to Debian is to get away
from both Plymouth and *dm. Fortunately, I find LXDE desireable, but no
way do I find it necessary.
Thanks,

$ aptitude show lxde
lxde "recommends" lightdm. Same command for xfce4 shows that xfce4 does not.
