But "Gdm" is a Gnome program which pull 29 MByte of additonal
packages on the Disk...  Also it loads many Gnome libs which
are generaly undesired if someone use a "light" WindowManager
like Xfce otherwise I would install the degktop-gnome.

I find "Gdm" misplaced and annoying if someone does not use Gnome.
