x11/slim and /etc/login.conf

Hi freebsd-ports@,

Since slim do not use login(1) to log your user in, everything set in
/etc/login.conf won't be present on your session. If you did set some
settings they won't appear.

in the /usr/local/etc/slim.conf you can see :

login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session

As described in the sh(1) manpage, the dash after the /bin/sh should
be a login shell, but it does not work. I'm guessing if we can do some
hack to make the /etc/login.conf used by slim.

If you have any ideas, just tell me !

Cheers.
