Re: [DNG] Need for documentation (golinux)

I think I understand the issue well enough to sum it up nicely, so if no one objects, should I just go ahead and file a bug report? If we're about to dump Slim for lxdm or lightdm or whatever, I needn't bother, but if we plan to keep Slim for release 1.0, I'd like to see the issue addressed. Looks

[DNG] Need for documentation
