Removed GNOME / X Server now fails

I completely removed GNOME using "pacman -Runs gnome gnome-extra" which fixed the problem of actually having GNOME installed on my system. It created a new problem, however, with Xorg. I use SLiM and upon trying to login, I receive a "Login_command failed" notice. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both X and SLiM, but the command "startx" tries to connect to the X server where it fails, turning up with the message "Waiting for the X server to shut down."

Now I have no idea what to do about the problem. I use i3 as a window manager, and I can't connect to the X server. Any ideas friends?

Yep, I'm almost positive you don't have an ~/.xinitrc set up
