FWIW, below is the trimmed-down version of a list I
shamelessly ripped from:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/display_manager

I edited out the ones I already know are too bloated.
I did not do any research on the remaining ones, nor
have I used any of them in the past!

| List of display managers
| 
| Console
| 
|     CDM — Ultra-minimalistic, yet full-featured login manager written in Bash.
|     Console TDM — Extension for xinit written in pure Bash.
|     nodm — Minimalistic display manager for automatic logins.
| 
| Graphical
| 
|     LXDM — LXDE display manager. Can be used independent of the LXDE desktop environment.
|     XDM — X display manager with support for XDMCP, host chooser.

I /suspect/(!) it's not so much about lightdm itself,
but more about the gtl-greeter. I wonder how much effort
it be to "tame" that, or even replace it with a more
minimalist approach.
