I see that xdm and awesome wm dont go well together. It used to work well before. I see after recent package update. awesome wm crashes often. After killing xdm, it is back normal again. Has anyone else experienced this ? If xdm is buggy, then can someone suggest a good login manager for X ? I see gdm brings in gnome-shell and loads of other packages which is not directly related to login manager. What i am looking for is just the login manager and its dependecies and not the entire DE. I assume kdm does the same thing. The awesome wm & xdm version in my pc is: awesome 3.5.1-3 xorg-xdm 1.1.11-4
The simplest alternative would be slim. It worked fine with awesome and now works fine with i3, for me at least.
