e doesn't use a display manager. "provide your own" so to speak. i know that
for wayland such things are currently rare and my thoughts are to actually roll
this into enlightenment itself so it has a "login mode" of some sort since this
is common enough and e already has some infra (lock screen handling for your
password), and that any login manager really needs a lot of the functions of a
full desktop session (screen dimming, brightness, multiple-screen
configuration, suspend/resume/shutdown/reboot, bluetooth controls to connect
kbd/mouse etc.). It does need restrictions though so someone can't do "bad
things" to an un-logged-in system (e.g. disable unpairing, powering off of bt
device, most of e's main menu should not be there, etc.).
