As you might know I use meta-mortsgna. There are 'gnome' images with
gdm [1] and so called 'allgui' images with sddm containing all
sessions supported currently: gnome / kde-plasma / liri / lumina /
lxqt / weston / xfce [2].

Since they include other images from within meta-mortsgna and
lightweight (=missing important) is not target of mortsgna, transfer
is not straight forward . See if I can put something together. Maybe
something like core-image-minimal-xfce + some wayland bits would do.
