[Pkg-xfce-devel] Why does xfswitch-plugin depend on so many (Gnome) packages?

[Magnus Sandberg]

Hi Yves-Alexis,

Thanks for you quick responce.

My old machine is running Squeeze with Gnome. I thought/hoped that the user 
switcher only brought up the login screen, not that GDM did the actual 
switchging.

So if I understand you correctly, lightdm (or some other display manager) 
has to have the user switching functionallity to get rid of GDM?

Regards,

The only thing really needed was to check xfswitch-plugin dependencies.
What you're looking for is gdm3, which is the only thing providing user
switching.
