Check /etc/inittab. It determines whether your DM is respawned...or not.

To run slim is to run X. Slim is a graphical login manager, requiring X to be running in the background.

when you logout of say openbox before it goes back to the slim login screen the x server restarts
is there a way to stop it from restarting and just go straight back to slim?

Gdm can do that, but I'm not sure about slim.

I've been trying to figure out how to get GDM to do that for eons. Link?

EDIT: Actually, I think I interpreted that post the wrong way the first time I read it. I've been looking for a way to return to GDM (the login screen) at a specified idle time of, say, 15 minutes. Having our family computer set up to be used by 5 people, it'd be nice to have it return to the login screen when idle. I've sat down a few times and my brother had left a pretty racy conversations on the screen that I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted me to read...
