OK, I'll try the new script soonish.

I use SLiM for some special setups, with non-technical users that do
not want to (or should) see too many confusing options when firing up
their box. And, since I do not use KDE, I prefer not to use kdm either
:)
Haven't used gdm on Slackware for years and xdm is way too ugly.

I can maintain SLiM, it's not that complicated and there aren't that
many updates anyway.
