The question is whether we should drop sddm and add lightdm. We still
have lxdm and, in the systemd version of the book, gdm.

While I personally use lightdm myself, I'd be opposed to dropping sddm,
because it fits perfectly into KDE environment. lightdm, gdm and lxdm
are all dependent on GTK, no?
I don't really like lightdm config procedure that Arch uses, but I don't
know of any else. That's a bit overkill for the book, don't you think?
Creating lot of files manually is a big no-no in my book. But I guess it
was done before.
Still, Arch seems to have got sddm 0.17.0 working. What are the issues
you're running into with it? If it's something systemd-related, you may
always try installing elogind, a standalone systemd-logind package by
(you guessed it) Gentoo devs. If that's not an issue, I suspect
non-standard Qt install BLFS recommends (try installing it in /usr and
with plugin/qml/etc paths similar to Arch).

Oh, and if you're up for it and if you get elogind to work, you can then
build and use GNOME on non-systemd system, according to
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind
