Currently I'm using kdm only to autologin my (only one) user into X session.
Which minimalist solution exists for autologin? There is no need for login screen when laptop is used mainly by one person but having gdm or kdm only for autologin is a bit ridiculous.
For slim edit /usr/local/etc/slim.conf: set default_user and autologin
Also edit ~/.xinitrc and ensure the exec filename is fully qualified (full path) e.g.
exec /usr/local/bin/xfce4-session
if using xfce
I did see it was a old thread, but added my observation because I had to search around for that slim solution myself and thought I'd add it here just in case others followed later.
