Apparently, with SLiM there isn't. All information I dug
up amounts to some intricate messing with .xinitrc and/or
.xsessionrc. I actually tried (thanks to you I now have a
Jessie VM with lightdm, slim, lxde and jwm installed ;D),
but to no avail - it's a total mess and I'd expect it to
break the moment I turn away.

Taking into account that the SLiM project is abandoned [1],
plus there were some other more severe problems with it (if
my memory serves me right), I am not sure if it's the right
tool to use for a display manager nowadays.

I'd go with lightdm (and I actually do), for it just works
out of the box and is in active development. But that's
just my personal two cents worth.

Sorry I cannot be of much more help here.
