Haven't gotten to slim yet (other things intervened) but I did add lxdm to my xorg image. Got it working with a bbappend for an init script package, upstream automake broke it, so I had to fix it again (along with some other stuff). Anyway, the latter patches are in the ML queue; works fine so far, although the session menu isn't populated since it only uses the mini_x session for openbox.
