Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
The gdm processes are using 10MB while we are using the XFCE
environment. Moreover GDM will not be used until the logout.
On my laptop it is 4% of my memory.
Is there no way to unload the program and keep only a tiny program loader which
will load the full gdm feature when logging out ? I prefer an add-hoc unloading
than a swap memory use.
