Of course this is not desirable. I've never looked at what GDM really
does because removing it was just an idea. Your short explanations
discourage me from looking too deeply into its functioning.
Thank you for highlighting nodm, which I didn't know. I think we'll have
to use it when we'll have a replacement for the GDM greeter. It seems to
be really what we need: no extra feature!

Didn't know this feature either since it is not our main focus yet.
However if we switch to nodm one day, we'll have to consider it as well
as its missing reverse operation :).
@Intrigeri: I misunderstood a bit your pages and didn't catch on
removing GDM was no longer considered.
