I am building a live iso of Gnome, and i think that the GDM package is causing me trouble with lightdm. and other DMs The reason to use lightdm is because the RAM drops around 200 -250 MB. The issue I have noticed is that with another DM the anon login doesnt work, only root. I also notice that eog, evince, and file-roller are dependencies. IMHO this 3 packages should be a dependency , and if they are, also gnome-terminal should be a dependency. @mnabid thanks for the information. Is good to know that they are considering including gnome-menus. Maybe I didn't explain myself clear. My personal opiniĆ³n is that no DM should be included as dependency in the metapackage (let the user choose). Also I would also remove the dependencies of eog, file-roller and evince, but of course gnome-menus is more important. Thanks also for information regarding gnome-screensaver.
