[SOLVED] Lightdm replaced by Slim in Excalibur ?

Hi all I noticed when installing the release Live Desktop ISO that Slim has returned as the default login manager. I have been running the earlier RC images and was surprised to LightDM as the default login manager, but now this seems to have changed back to Slim.

Is there any reason for this, just curious, that's all.

Thanks
Rue

Yeah, slim was creating a black window that covered the desktop when autologin was set (the default in the live environment) so I switched to using lightdm. Slim got fixed for the release, so I switched back to it.
