 LightDM more or less works, but it has some glitches and it's hard to
 set up.
Yes, it's not perfect yet. I already have some tests to do, and bugs to
fill (mostly, checking bugs we had with LXDM and see if there are fixed
in lightDM).

 First, its upstart config file is not complete and needs  some fix.
 Please if someone know how to do this, help the author.
Most of the packaging stuff is done, including the upstart script :)

 Second, I never got it work correctly with console Kit and some
 authentication thing.
 Again, if anyone know how to get it work, please help.
Yes I saw it too, I need to report a bug about it.

 Hi,
 
 For now, we have LXDM as display manager, but I would like to try
 lightDM for this cycle.
 
 lightDM have several advantages :
 - It's cross-platform, means other desktops may use it and support it.
 - It'll proposed for inclusion is Ubuntu in natty+1, and if it succeed,
 it means also more support.
 
 Support is important for this piece of software, because it's more
 complex than a standard desktop application. It's also important to have
 testers because it needs to deal with many different configurations and
 situations.
 
 Another advantage : lightDM doesn't depends directly on GNOME component,
 only the greeter (the login screen) who use have those depends. And
 there is already a greeter which is similar to the LXDM one (thanks
 PCMan :))
 
 You can read more on lightDM on the homepage [1] or on the blog of the
 author [2]. You can also see the blueprint for inclusion in standard
 Ubuntu [3].
 
 Also, I already plan to continue to maintain LXDM, so if lightDM is not
 ready for 11.04, we will have the possibility to switch back to LXDM.
 
 A version to test it in a real installation will be available in the
 Lubuntu Desktop PPA in several days.
 
LightDM seems promising and I think that, if it is ready, would be a good 
option.  I would have to try it to give a proper response.
