I installed LXDM. I could not get it to run it as the default
display manager (yes, I had /usr/sbin/lxdm
in /etc/X11/default-display-manager), I had to login and run it from
tty. I managed to fix that by adding lxdm before exit 0 in rc.local,
now my only problem is after I log in through lxdm it tries to use
lightdm-xsession. I don't have and never have installed lightdm or
lightdm-xsession or whatever package it is looking for, so when it
can't find it, it says it can't find it and its falling back to
default session and I have to click ok to continue. So its just a
mild irritation, but still. Here is the exact message it gives me:

Xsession: unable to launch "lightdm-xsession" xsession ---
"lightdm-xsession" not found; falling back to default session.

Any ideas?
Not sure about lightdm or lxdm. I use slim with xfce and have no
issues.

To the OP:
Try opening a terminal and typing:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure *dm* 
where the first * is whatever dm you are already using and the last
one is for anything after the 'dm' part.  For instance, if your dm is
gdm3:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
I use xdm and the output of the command
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xdm 
for me is a dialog box offering xdm, wdm and gdm3.  

Choose which you want.

Before lxdm I had xdm. I never had lightdm though. When it boots it opens lxdm. After I login with lxdm it pops up the annoying message, I click ok and it loads up. Its not a "problem", but it is very annoying. When I use "dpkg-reconfigure lxdm" I get:

insserv: warning: script 'lxdm' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for script `lxdm'
insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming empty stop runlevel(s) for script `lxdm'
