I was interested by your suggestion as slim user since 2 years.
Consolekit integration (and my ugly workaround) is my only issue with
it.

So i took the time to test this light login manager, and my conclusion
is : It's not light.
There are dependencies to gtk3 and qt without any greeter installed.
gtk greater needs gnome-common, kde greater needs kdelibs, so if I
have to use kde or gnome i would look to kdm or gdm instead of a not
so light lightdm.

I don't think we can compare slim and lightdm ! I tested xdm (with
xdm-arch-theme), it's light and have consolekit integration.
Tobias has just released slim with consolekit integration  and it
works great (except for the omission of removing pam ck connector).
