you are right: SLiM is not intended to be used with gnome: it is
desktop-independent and aims to be light and simple, for this reason
it has been intentionally developed with a minimal set of feature
(and some other basic feature should be implemented in the future)

so SLiM is often used in lightweight/minimal GNU/Linux installations,
and with a lot of light desktop managers (i.e. xfce, *box)...

i developed the slim-gnewsense-1.1 to use it with a basic gNS 3
installation on a very old & "poor" IBM Thinkpad (Celeron 600MHz, 192MB
RAM, 16MB VRAM)...

thanks, i will do it!

PS: the 'slim-gnewsense-1.1' theme is now also available at the
official SLiM project website, in the themes page:
http://slim.berlios.de/themes01.php
