I've never heard anything about a slim DM. Do we ship it at all? I don't think so. 2. You're changing a lot of things unrelated to slim in xdm init script. Why? 3. You don't use startproc/kill for starting/terminating slim DM although any other DM does.

Next seems to be that slim does not run as daemon by default nor seems slim to know about standard xdm options. If so you should use in line 109 - 110 slim|SLIM) DISPLAYMANAGER=$SLIM_BIN XDMOPTIONS=-d KDM_PIDFILE=/var/run/slim.pid ;; and skip the change in line 161 - 162 - 163 and also line 222 - 223 - 224. Hopefully slim knows about a pid file in case of using option -d. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
