I have been walking around with this questions for a long time now.

But why don't we use upstream artwork and use the slim login manager?

I believe this is not against the new xubuntu mission/vision is it?

fluxbuntu is using it, why don't we work together with there artwork?

Every xubuntu release there is a lot of time and discussion about the 
artwork..
