The Fedora Xfce SIG considered SLIM but we didn't use it because (at
least at that time) it had some problems with ConsoleKit.
I use xfce since fedora 13 and slim also. I always had to do something to make it works.
What are those problems with consolekit you mentioned?
We are still trying to get rid of GDM but we are more after LightDM
now.
I have packaged it and it basically works on F>= 15, but the package
and LightDM requires some more work.
I don't think that Xfce upstream has a relationship to SLIM in
particular because the project seems pretty much dead.

That is correct, but you either need to configure the default desktop or
use the sylm-dynwm script. For more info have a look at

I, personally, agree that GDM should be replaced, especially after someone decided to move
"reboot"
and "shutdown" to it. (I found it in Fedora XFCE spin), so now I am thinking how
to allow "systemctl
reboot" for normal user from xfce.
I will check LightDM, but as long as slim works for me, I am going to use it.
Thanks.
