Hi.<div>I have Debian sid with Xfce here.</div><div>I've installed gdm3 and it works fine with xfce. I've kept it light by not installing recommended packages but I've noticed that it isn't themeable without GNOME's appearance app (it doesn't obey xfce's one, of course) and current gnome-icon-theme hasn't all its icons (see image). IDK if they fixed this in the next version of the icon theme for GNOME 3.</div>

I guess this may be due to both of them not being developed/maintained anymore and so may be missing an up-to-date configuration for Debian.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Currently we have LXDM and LightDM as new basic display managers but they aint packaged for Debian yet. It would be nice if they were. At least LXDM seems to be usable as it's packaged for Ubuntu and OpenSUSE, I think.</div>
<div>(ok, it's an LXDE app but Xfce would probably benefit from it too)</div><div><br></div><div>LXDM:</div><div><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/files/lxdm/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/files/lxdm/</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>Just plain Debian packaging is too much for my knowledge, packaging a display manager then...so I'm just raising the subject.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div>
