So, Pretty much every time I cold boot my machine Slim refuses to let me log in with the message 'Unable to execute login command'. I have to big-button the machine (I have no other way to proceed at this point) and try again. This usually repeats a couple of times before finally allowing me to login.
This is the same for 2 different users, both using xfce4.
Anywhere I should be looking first for the problem?

Check the login_cmd line in /etc/slim.conf; the default is
login_cmd exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
Look at your .xinitrc (or other file as specified in the above line). Make sure it exists and is a valid /bin/sh script. Make sure it doesn't have any errors. Try running xinit and see what output you get.
