As I told you in a private mail, you can use our freshly installed file sharing 
tool:

Maybe an online tool to share bookmarks would fit the need. Any other 
suggestion?

There are alternative session managers like XDM or KDM. On Debian testing you 
should have access to the light LXDE session manager, whose name I don't 
remember exactly, maybe lxsession-manager. If you really don't want to use a 
session manager, it is possible to start Xorg then your graphical environment 
in the latest stage of system boot. I've done this kind of tweaks one day by 
putting a line in “/etc/rc.local” using the command startx. You'll have to add 
another line to start your graphical environment. However I don't know how this 
would deal with the logout/shutdown commands of your environment, maybe you 
should remove all these stuff and simply rely on the power off button.

Is your need to have a DDL without the 2 most advanced sessions Mini and Whole 
DDL? If yes think this is a need we could think about. Maybe I can also provide 
a tweak to hide these sessions in the session menu.

Note that in DDL we are using GDM to provide the session menu, it cannot be 
removed, but I would like to replace this tweak by a dedicated application that 
would better fit our needs.

Not surprising, when you start from a net install, you get only what is 
required to make the system run, no services that may be required for very 
special needs and consume resources. This is the way DDL was designed, on a 
minimal install base!

Saludos,

JM.
