I'm trying to use SLiM instead of GDM as a login manager, but I fail miserably when creating the proper .xsession / .xinitrc file needed by SLiM.

How would a proper .xession file look like to start the Xubuntu-Session? There are great guides about setting up custom Desktop Environments, but I am missing something.

I tried copying contents of the xubuntu.desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions/ which reads "Exec=/usr/share/xubuntu/session.sh" into a .xsession file, but SliM would not show up. What else could I be missing?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

You could do something like this in your slim.conf

login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session

or in your .xinitrc

exec ck-launch-session /usr/share/xubuntu/session.sh

reference: debian arch
