gdm - The GNOME Display Manager

Description:
GDM, the GNOME Display Manager, handles authentication-related backend
functionality for logging in a user and unlocking the user's session
after it's been locked. GDM also provides functionality for initiating
user-switching, so more than one user can be logged in at the same
time. It handles graphical session registration with the system for
both local and remote sessions (in the latter case, via the XDMCP
protocol). In cases where the session doesn't provide it's own display
server, GDM can start the display

GDM is not compatible with ALDOS because it requires SystemD to
actually do something. This package excludes the GDM binaries from
/usr/bin and /usr/sbin.

Do not try to use GDM as display manager in ALDOS. It will not work,
no matter how much you tweak the system. It's deeply dependant on
SystemD functions.
