Is there a correct way to set the default wm with lightdm. I can't find any documentation and googling has not helped.

well,

bit late, but for the record

install lightdm, and than a configuration dialog will come up, choose lightdm as your default dm.
If not, do as root

Code: [Select]

dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

After you choose lightdm as your default dm, reboot.
If all went fine, remove gdm3 or kdm from your system.

With

Code: [Select]

dpkg -l gdm3*
or kdm, you can see what is installed and remove it with

Code: [Select]

apt-get purge ...

If you want autologing with lightdm, take a look to the following link.
I tested it and its working.
