INTRODUCTION
SLiM (Simple Login Manager) is a graphical login manager for X11.
It aims to be simple, fast and independent from the various
desktop environments.
SLiM is based on latest stable release of Login.app by Per Lidn.

New features:
- External themes and configuration
- PNG support with alpha transparency for panel
- PNG / JPEG support for backgrounds
- XFT / freetype support
- Double or single (GDM-style) inputbox support
- Automake-based build procedure

INSTALLATION
see the INSTALL file

USAGE

To launch slim, execute run the slim binary,
followed by the -d option if you want it to
run as a daemon in the background (reccommended)

enter username and password to login. The ~/.xinitrc
file is executed by default, so be sure to have a working
.xinitrc file in your home.

Special usernames (commands configurable in the config file):
- console: start console login
- exit: exit SLiM
- halt: halt the system
- reboot: reboot the system

pressing the F11 key executes a user-specified
command (see the configuration file), the default
is to take a screenshot if the 'import' program is available.

CONFIGURATION
/usr/etc/slim.conf is the main configuration file.
Options are explained in the file itself
