of the same infrastructure that's used for gdm (primarily GTK+). What
exactly about GDM is not suitable? That's the question they should be
able to answer.
The latest GDM drags in a metric buttload of GNOME infrastructure, in
particular gnome-session, which drags in control-center, which drags in
pretty much all of GNOME, including metacity, libcanberra, several
libgnome* etc.
The days where GDM only needed GTK+ are long gone.
