pinging @not-chicken and @mnabid
GDM is the supported way of starting GNOME afaik, and most GNOME metapackages around install GDM. It's only 4M installed.

Comment:
The GNOME metapackages are being restructured in #22936. `gnome-menus` is added as dependency there.
**LightDM isn't part of GNOME**, so it probably wouldn't be included in `gnome` metapackage. (And it shouldn't, in my opinion).
IIRC, GNOME Wayland session doesn't show up in lightdm. You can install `lightdm` manually and use it as default.
`gnome-screensaver` is very old, and isn't needed anymore (even in `gnome-flashback`, see [#21382 (comment)](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21382#discussion_r432390025) ).

Comment:
@ericonr is not about the size. 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 opinión 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.

Comment:
@gorkawien If you're going to build a live ISO you can just not use the `gnome` meta pacakge. Why not list the individual packages you want included with `-p pkg1,pkg2,pkg3, …`?
Or even easier yet: create your own `gnome-live` package in a fork of this repository and list whatever you think belongs there and omit what you don't want. There is no need and certainly no good reason to change what Void's `gnome` meta package contains just for that purpose.

Comment:
gnome-screensaver should be added to the metapackage. Without it, screen locking does not work.

Comment:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Attic/GnomeScreensaver says it's archived
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Screensaver says it was replaced by functionality combining gdm and gnome.
`gnome-menus` only seems to be used by flashback, not `gnome`.

Description:
Please include gnome gnome-menus and gnome-screensaver as dependency from metapackage "gnome" in order to simplifiy the installation of Gnome.
If possible remove the dependency of eog.,yelp and all the docs.
