View/control startup applications.

Small, concise, full-featured and overall incredible. This is an essential part of my toolkit.

(comes with X windows)

A basic display manager, to let the user boot into a login screen.

It gets the job done. It lacks user-switching and poweroff/suspend functionality.

XDM = X Window Display Manager

There are several pages for it, but I have this one working:
https://github.com/dlitz/xtoolwait

Xtoolwait notably decreases the startup time of an X session by reducing the load on the X server and Linux.

It starts an X client in the background, waits for a window to be mapped on the root window, and then exits. It can improve performance for users who start a bunch of X clients automatically (for example, xterm, xlock, xconsole, whatever) when the X session starts.
