LightDM is an X display manager that:
* Has a lightweight codebase
* Is standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc)
* Has a well defined interface between the server and user interface
* Fully themeable (easiest with the webkit interface)
* Cross-desktop (greeters can be written in any toolkit)

Update Information:

New upstream bugfix release:
* Correctly set permissions on Xauthority file.
* Correctly set $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for non-autologin sessions
* Fix overallocation of array for strings from greeter.
* Set XDG_VTNR=1 as a fallback if using SeatUnity without a functioning compositor or working VT switching, so that logind will recognize the VT as active.
