   Agree, if xdm is good enough for your purposes, use that, it will be the   
   quickest and easiest solution.   
      
   When I started to migrate from Slackware 14.2 to 15.0 sddm turned out to   
   be a show stopper which had to be replaced. I downloaded, compiled and   
   evaluated a bunch of different login managers and ended up installing   
   part of the complete Trinity Desktop Environment just to get access to   
   its tdm login manager which basically is the same as the kdm login   
   manager from KDE 3.   
      
   My main reason not to take the simple route of xdm was that tdm has a   
   menu choice of window manager / desktop environment at login. With xdm   
   you will need to hardcode that choice in configuration files in different   
   users home directories.   
      
   Tdm also looked much like kdm did in previous versions of Slackware,   
   including a graphical list of users where the list of users could be   
   taken from a network catalog service.   
      
   In my experience the low version number of sddm reflected its bugginess.   
   It also lacked some features that I had become used to and the developers   
   stated that one of those features would never be implemented.
