Missing desperately: Display manager

What I'm missing in XFCE4 is a nice, little display manager. Currently, I'm using gdm (the GNOME display manager) with XFCE4, but it depends on hundreds of GNOME libraries I don't like to have installed. Other display managers lack important features, such as XDMCP. A gdm light for XFCE4 would be really cool.
