I understand that and i would agree, but in my experience with devuan
here, lxdm was the loginmanager which worked better (lightdm is an
euphemism, i'd say, it is all but light). lxdm is really light, even
not heavy compared to slim (which is lighter but not that much). I liked
slim from my crunchbang experience but i'm afraid it is in somehow
outdated - since it is not maintained since a while (have a look at the
arch wiki about). (1)

Just a, may be naive, question: shouldn't it be possible to free lxdm
completely of any dependence of lxde? As far as i see lxde-common and
desktop-base are suggestions, not needed. For what we may be afraid, the
dependency of libdbus might be a problem ... (?)

configuration of wdm.
