Description:
When logging in with Slim (1.3.4-2), the login widgets disappear and then the system hangs. This occurred using Systemd and the provided slim.service, however it was reported on the forums to happen using initscripts as well. The problem does not occur when using the slim-nock (Slim w/o Consolekit support) from the AUR, which simply changes the use-consolekit compile flag.

Additional info

You should report the bug to the slim devs, so they can fix it
