Alright, I have added it to the kickstart.

Yeah, it also has some other issues, such as not closing sessions
properly. Even after a user logs out, some of his processes keep
running.

It even offers keyboard selection (if enabled). There is a new version
of LXDM I need to package but this won't happen in time for F16.

We hacked on LightDM at FUDCon Milan, but we were not able to get it
working. There was a PAM problem. I can look at the Ubuntu package to
figure it out, but I just didn't find the time.

If you want to give LightDM a try, download the latest Ubuntu or
Xubuntu. IHMO it still looks rough and is unfinished even though it is
not version 1.0.1. Ubuntu was too fast switching I think. AFAICS it has
similar issues as LXDM, at least the dual screen problem.
