I don't think that there are many slim users here, but just in case, I would advise against updating to latest version.

Thx Carnophage,

older releases of the siduction-LXDE flavour might still use slim as login-manager.

An interesting bug, i think. (Freeze is boring, isn't it?)

greetings,

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slim - one could consider slim dead in the water, the last images with slim are the 13.2.1 lxde isos

Indeed, but as long as it does the job, I don't see a reason to switch to something else.
I don't remember what was my problem with lightdm, so maybe it's high time to try it again ;-)

@musca, indeed, I was quite shocked when first reload happened, got used to 'everything just works' too much

only a hint - sddm works just fine with LXDE - ok, it will bring some Qt dependencies, but LightDM is and can be pita from time to time - so i would suggest  SDDM.

FYI, bug was marked as solved in version 1.3.6-5.1
I won't verify it as I already moved to sddm.
