[arch-general] Slim login manager is logging everything

[Ananda Samaddar]

I'm using Slim as my login manager and it's logging absolutely
everything.  Things like gstreamer and alsa errors.  This is making the
log file huge, of the order of 8 gb when compressed.  Can anyone think
of a solution?  I could always use the hack of putting the logfile
in /tmp but I don't want to do that.  /var is not on a separate
partition and I'm not prepared to re-partition my system.  Obviously
with such large logfiles I'm getting performance issues.

I'm an XFCE user so I'd like to avoid kdm and gdm. Are are there any
other alternative X11 login apps other than xdm that don't depend on
GNOME or KDE if I can't fix my issue with Slim?

thanks,

Ananda
