When i installed jessie - on another machine with big overheating
problems (amd cpu & graphics) slim never ever worked, only console
login and startx. irrwahn helped me out (he even made a bugreport
somewhere) and in the end lxdm was the login manager which worked.
After that experience i sticked with it also installing later on ascii
on a less problematic machine.

And as i said before, lxdm is nearly equally leightweight as slim and
as far as i see not really systemd infected - yet (?).
