I always wondered what are the advantages/ need of having GDM and fluxbox (or any other window manager) in case the computer is only used as HTPC.
I mean, I experienced XBMC is running fine if only xorg installed and XBMC started from .xinitrc, but even XBMC Live (which is for dedicated HTPC) is using Fluxbox if I know correctly.
So my question is, do we have any drawback having only xorg installed without GDM&desktop manager over having also GDM&window manager as well?
