Could you do that by emailing bug-g...@gnu.org? I don’t think Slim supports multiple monitors, so there’s little we can do without forking it. Slim also has a couple of other drawbacks (such as no support for input methods and lack of localisation). We should change the default to a different display manager such as gdm or lightdm. -- Ricardo
