The PAM errors in slim.log concern me.. If I had to guess, I think that slim cannot authenticate the primary root session and therefore is forced to exit. Do you know what (if anything) is non-standard in /etc/pam.d/ ? the files system{,-local}-{login,auth}, slim, and slimlock would be of particular interest here.
Perhaps I should at that more description. It seems that X starts, e.g. the focus moves to vt7 but no slim comes up.
If I do startx then the login prompt appears on VT7 which works for logins as long as the second X is running.
I rebuilt quite some packages yesterday and now it works. I will reopen if it comes back.

What is still missing here is what PAM might say about what slim is doing, probably in the syslog.
it maybe correlated with #501330. It still comes from time to time, but no clue how to solve it or to debug it.
Why did you put the crappiest Summary ever back? It doesn't explain anything.
