The main problem with slim seems to be that it is not much maintained
and the previous version (jaunty) has some nasty security problems. I
would like to see an xfce/xubuntu login manager that is lightweight and
customizable (so that it can look nice), but not something that takes
all the resources of a desktop... I mean we are only logging in with
it, and not spending ages looking at that screen.
