I remember the first few times using SLiM on a slightly older computer. After

things were working or if I had gotten the config wrong and things were just
hosed. So the second patch adds visual feedback similar to what you get when
typing "halt" at the prompt.

They're my own patches :). But sure, the others SLiM patches have authors
listed too.
