Medium | This blueprint is about session management in Oneiric. Integration from LightDM, removal of session saving, adapting with the new oneiric GNOME stack. |

Medium | Last cycle I proposed using LightDM to replace GDM [1]. It was deferred due to the Unity work, so time to repropose! The main reasons for switching are: - Simpler code to maintain (GDM is a huge ~50,000 line C program and we carry 36 patches. LightDM is nearer 10,000 lines of C). - More flexible greeter development - greeters are as easy as X applications to write, which means we can have an Ubuntu specific greeter that without branching the rest of the code - Speed improvements - we can run a greeter without running a full GNOME session - Display manager can be shared with Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu etc but still allow each distro to have their own greeter. The current state of LightDM is "80% done" I would say. The core architecture is all there, and it just needs a few weeks of solid work to make it shine.
