Description karpi 2015-11-18 09:10:32 UTC 
xfswitch-plugin hard depends on gdm. But in gentoo can be compiled without it. USE=-gdm
It is good for nothing. Only for uninstall.
Comment 1 Jason Zaman gentoo-dev 2015-11-23 11:43:29 UTC 
What version are you talking about?

There are useflags to switch between gdm / lightdm / lxdm. It does not hard depend on gdm at all and works fine with the others.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what the problem is.
can you upgrade to xfce-extra/xfswitch-plugin-0.0.1-r2 and test? that one is going to be stabilized soon.
Comment 4 karpi 2015-11-30 12:36:46 UTC 
The problem is: 
- you have installed and running lightdm not gdm
- you want to switch user.
- you installed xfce-extra/xfswitch-plugin-0.0.1-r1 [-gdm]
- you cannot switch user.

But
~0.0.1-r2 works fine.

So
remove old buggy version 0.0.1-r1, please.
