A full build and install of this version builds slim AND slimlock . It probably also requires consolekit and possibly dbus. (its been a while since I installed this version from here or from the devuan debs.) I have been chipping away at a "quieter" version over on giHUB.

https://github.com/PeteGozz/slim

That version could readily have a devuan theme added. It also has :

• slimlock disabled by default
• some basic support for BSD OS. (rc.d)
• no *kits no and no dbus by default.
• has an xamplar theme that hopefully helps with a cleaner understanding of howto (theme) (which can be replaced with a devuan version)

So its even slimmer, more importantly its less buggy and less prone to config errors or dpkg dependancy misses.

I've upped the gitHUB patch number but not any major version numbers. All of the changes (so far) are reversible at Cmake time.
