Hi all,

FC16 XFCE spin has been released with XFCE environment but GDM DM.

There was a time where LightDM was not really usable in Fedora because
of code issues:

As far as I read, it's packaged now and seems to be usable:
http://pkgs.org/fedora-17/fedora-updates-x86_64/lightdm-gtk-1.1.6-3.fc17.x86_64.rpm.html


Those who used FC17 XFCE spin: what's the situation? Is it working OOTB?


Lightdm 1.2.2-15 here (and gtk greeter 1.1.6-3), working fine.
I found some little issues, like if you have an open session in a console terminal and try to shutdown from the lightdm greeter it will just get stuck there (instead of giving a warning and an option to cancel). Also it sorts the users and session alphabetically (first capitals then small case) and apparently we can't define a default user/session (it always boots selected with the first on the list for both user and session).

Also xguest (testing package without dependency on gdm) didn't work when I tried but it might be that it just doesn't work if not with GNOME (I have limited space to test all alternatives but the xguest creator said he would have a look on that).
