Hi,
It appears that Ubuntu has resolved this issue with the inclusion of
the attached patch by Sean Davis <smd.seanda...@gmail.com>. It would
allow you to change the Depends: line to use lightdm | gdm3, which
appears to be what is wanted.
I just built a NM(N)U of xfswitch-plugin using this patch and it does
indeed give me a button for the XFCE panel that, when pressed and
confirmed, takes me back to lightdm.
This does not provide the regular Action Buttons applet the same
functionality of course, but since that applet can't appear as a
compact icon, I prefer xfswitch-plugin anyway.
Joseph
Description: Add support for dm-tool
gdmflexiserver is no longer provided by lightdm. Use dm-tool if it is
available.
