Test day for F18 and switch to lightdm?

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings.

I think we should bite the bullet and switch the spin over to lightdm. 
If we run into things we cannot fix that are too bad, we can aways
switch back. Thoughts?

Additionally, You all may have seen adamw's call for test days for the
f18 cycle:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2012-July/000951.htm...

I think we should switch over to lightdm and make any other changes we
want very soon, and schedule an early test day. Would anyone out there
care to organize and run the test day?

In this cycle we would have:

Xfce 4.10
lightdm
Anything else we change soon.

Thoughts?

I think switching to LightDM is a good idea.
As for the test day, not sure I could commit to 'organizing and
running' the test day, I'm more than willing to help, and participate
in any way I can.

Switching back is only the last resort, I really want to get rid of gdm.

I'd like to help, but not organize it, I am just too busy.

Lightdm would be great, nice to get rid of gdm and make it possible to
uninstall PackageKit too :)

Ok, I have switched comps and the f18 Xfce kickstart to use lightdm-gtk
instead of gdm. ;)

http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/comps.git/commit/?id=066e449e3eaec852161819...

Please do file any bugs and test. ;)

If anyone would be willing to organize and manage the test day, please
let me know. I'm also very busy, so this would be a great way for
someone to get involved. ;)
