A problem about SLiM

Today, I want to try SLiM to manage my login screen. I just followed the guideline in Wiki about "Display Manager" and "SLiM", and everything is fine  except that several scripts I dropped in "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d" do not run following the gnome starting automatically.

Any suggestions?

Re: A problem about SLiM

I always use ~/.xinitrc with slim login manager.

Maybe you could try to use that instead of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d

Thats all i know about this issue..

Re: A problem about SLiM

Yes, I believe there are different configurations as to which file it checks automatically.  I believe this is located in /etc/slim.conf and can be changed.

# NOTE: if your system does not have bash you need
# to adjust the command according to your preferred shell,
# i.e. for freebsd use:
# login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
