One important observation related to NODM not starting every time reliably :

If you have installed normal package with Gnome, you must disable lightdm loading on background while starting NODM.

- to do this you just have to create file:

 /etc/init/lightdm.override

- and type in it:

manual

- and reboot the computer after that.

If gnome graphic interface is loaded on background when user wants to use e.g. NODM and Openbox instead of Gnome, loading lightdm ( Gnome graphic login interface) makes starting NODM totally random. Every once in a while system does not load NODM at all but ends up with normal Gnome Unity greeter, which is something that no one wants if thet want to use NODM.
