Package: slim
Version: 1.4.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After updating to Trixie, SLiM launch a untitled window at openbox session
startup. This is a full-screen sized, inactive black window.
When autologin=no in slim.conf (or commented), this window is not present.
Do you have an idea of the origin of the issue ?
Could you please provide a workaround that will allow autologin without this ?
Don't hesitate to ask me for tests.
Thanks for maintaining SLiM in Debian.
Baptiste
