The minor issue I have found, so far, is that once you log into your session, in order to shutdown or reboot you will have to send that through the terminal as the option is grayed out when you select Quit in the menu. Also note that I have also tested SLiM in Linux Mint 11 virtual machine and it works, with some minor issues. Please note (as per comments on the post) that there have been some people who have had issues with SLiM, so use it at your own risk. You’ll need to provide the root password for those steps to work.
