I’d like to ask if you actually need a DM at all. I for myself have
gotten rid of all of them and can live happily without them. All I
needed was automatic login upon boot and startup of X. I achieved this
thanks to mingetty and a few lines in my ~/.bash_profile as described
here for SysVinit and systemd:

Maybe this also suffices for you. It can’t get any faster and smaller
than this. ;-)
