Which brings back the question, which of our dms should provide dm?

As I see it, we have kdm, gdm, lxdm, slim and xdm, kdm, gdm, lxdm and 
slim do provide dm and now xdm does, too.

Imho slim and xdm are not full featured dms like the other:
you can't choose the desktop to be started, you don't get a list of 
users and so on.
I just checked, lxdm does work together with xguest.

At the moment, task-kde4 does require kdm, task-gnome does require gdm, 
task-xfce does require gdm and dm and task-lxde does require lxdm.

Somehow we should order this.
