Debian Edu handle four different desktop options at the moment. KDE, Gnome, LXDE and XFCE. These pull in different display managers, but I suspect we would be better off by not doing so. This is the current status:
desktop d-m Comment ------------------------------------------------------------ KDE kdm with our artwork, with adjusted configuration Gnome gdm3 without our artwork, support speech for blind LXDE lightdm without our artwork XFCE lightdm without our artwork I am not sure, but I believe gdm handle PAM better than kdm (as in handle expired password properly). No idea about lightdm in this respect. Because we have limited man-hour to spend configuring the display managers, I suspect we would be better off by focusing on one of these, and drop the rest. I would pick gdm3 as the default, fix the artwork and get support for the blind included. The downside could be slightly higher disk and memory usage (and possibly more space spent on the DVD, but reducing the number of display managers might compensate).
