I have no interest in display managers but, perhaps moving to the maintained fork as upstream source would be a possibility.pkgsrc/x11/slim updated to 1.4.0 (on the fork) Interestingly it can be set to take a set of sessions to select from - by reading .session files from $PREFIX/share/sessions. I wonder if this is something we should be exploring (where does/did gdm take its list of sessions?) David
