That works! ;->

Believe it or not, though, it's not unknown to have background processes

also login at the local console.

Understand, please, that I've never happened to use slim. When I
install an x window manager, I almost always use xdm.

Certainly, from the description, that design seems a very appropriately
cautious one.
