Bug#761358: gdm3: not workable as displaymanager for XFCE without GNOME-desktop

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-4
Severity: normal


I use the default desktop on a secondary machine with testing.
Because lightdm does not allow remote logins with Xephyr via XDMCP, I set up gdm3 today.
This cost about 400 MB of diskspace, because it pulled in lots of dependencies. The result
was not workable either.
I report this from my main testing-box though and hope this is OK.
