(Get the code!)
I can confirm this bug affects both xdm and slim. Running the slim binary directly ("/usr/bin/slim") will work, but calling it through star-stop-daemon ("start-stop-daemon --start --name slim --startas /usr/bin/slim") will cause the error reported in the bug.
Messy workaround for now:
In "/etc/init.d/slim" replace:
start-stop-daemon --start $SSD_START_ARGS ||echo -n " already running"
with:
exec $DAEMON
A similar workaround will work for xdm too.
