Ok, thanks for the test. I confirmed with gdm3 maintainers that they use Xorg command, not X, so I guess it makes sense to use the same thing. Not sure if it deserves a freeze exception though, will ask separately. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Ok, X is run by lightdm itself, not the greeter, which has nothing to do with this. Recommends: is enough to cover the most common setups and still allow for more uncommon ones, so closing. thank you for verifying this.
