rebooted and it's fine. Should I expect any issues down the road? I can't find much on how it works or what it's actually required for besides gnome which I thought had something to do with gtk-2.0 and gtk-3.0. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind
I'm running openbox, with a Xfce4-panel. slim doesn't seem to depend on it. So no problems logging back in. The user Gui is not broken and not dependent on it.
