22 Hi, remove the line "exec startfluxbox" in your .xinitrc and append
23 startfluxbox to sessions in /etc/slim.conf like this:
24 # Available sessions (first one is the default).
25 # The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
26 # above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
27 # see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
28 sessions startfluxbox,compiz-session,startlxde,openbox
29
30 And try to login again. Maybe it helps.
