Hello everybody,
slim has some known security weaknesses (for example it has no separate greeter process thus the graphical interface is running with super user privileges) and a lot of open bugs. Additionally it does not support
packages (consolekit and friends) out of the box. Though lately the SVN got some commits and a new version has been released the arch package has not been updated since it was flagged out of date in February. [snip]

Seems to be a severe lack of bug reports made if there are so many issues with it...
I had lots of issues when I used slim, but replaced it easily lxdm. slim isn't a default and there are lots of choices available (including other
latest lightweight ones) so I don't see how adding lightdm and dropping slim are connected.

I use slim on two systems without issue... Other than our package is out of date
