I have used both gdm and slim.
AFAIK I need to configure numlockx if I use gdm?
While I can tweak /etc/slim for numlock and autologin.
To me, slim has less disk space so suits those with smaller drives.
I did have an issue with my panel's logout which I fixed by creaing a desktop logout file calling lxsession-logout.
Dear aus9,
I like best lxde and I had a good impression with sidux, debian and mandriva with it. You're right when you said that slim has less disk space to be consumed. Now, I learned how to tweak for autogin to the slim. I have learned an easier way by using the terminal as follows:
to auto login press run and enter:
gksu leafpad /etc/slim.conf
and scroll down to the end of the file, you will see this lines:
#auto_login yes
#default_user demo
uncomment them by removing # and replace demo with your username.
for your inspiration view my beautifull debian 5.03 lxde deasktop at

It's a little bit x-rated.
now with auto-login with slim.
cheers.
PS: I will talk later on to James Benedito Oliveira (main developer for the epidemic gnu linux) to release an epidemic gnu linux with lxde for the next version in the future.Perhaps (if we have enough available time) for the final release for the epidemic 3.1 which It will happen to sooner. I can' guarantee it because to support two desktop envirognments It's not too easy but I'm inclined to grab the lxde.What do you think about it?
