It is NOT a standalone XDM-like implementation, rather it takes advantage of
the modularity of GDM. GDM use special clients (gdmlogin or gdmgreater),
called "greeter" clients, to do the graphical part of a login.
The authentication, etc., is still done by the GDM daemon.
GDM communicates through pipes and a simple protocol with the clients
(check the GDMClient class and the list of opcodes to have a better idea).

Ion is a simple but extensible Window Manager that is closer to
Ratpoison and PWM than to anything else.
With Ion, the screen is divided into frames, and each program simply
lives in the frame it's provided. All Ion commands are keyboard-based.
Ion is also highly configurable and extensible through Lua.
Think of Ion like an X11 version of Screen.

Common Lisp.
If you're tired of flipping through themes like channel-surfing, and going
from one perfect-except-for-just-one-thing window manager to another
even-more-broken-in-some-other-way then perhaps Stumpwm can help.
Stumpwm attempts to be customizable yet visually minimal. There are no window
decorations, no icons, and no buttons. It does have various hooks to attach
your personal customizations, and variables to tweak.
* Hack the good hack.
* Debug your good hack.
* Customize your window manager.
While it's running. That's right. With a 100% Common Lisp window manager
there's no stopping the hacks. Just re-eval and GO!

mouse and keyboard support, exiting on unfocus, and a decent manpage.
