My research tells me that for Xfce, LXDE, Openbox, JWM, dwm, IceWM and
the like, if you run without lightdm, whether because it was never
installed or because you rename it or put an exit high in its config
file, you simply boot to CLI, from which you can run startx as long as
your .xinitrc has the invocation to your desired window manager/desktop
environment.
If you're worried about security and someone getting a command prompt
by killing X, then you can invoke it like this, as somebody pointed out
on this list:
startx;exit
One piece of packagemanship that bothers me intensely is that apt-get
install lxde installs lightdm. That is soooo unnecessary, especially
because lxde is a lightweight product.
