Hi,
I've not been clear enough. My only point is that your description
(and even your text below) talks about "SLiM" without saying what it
is at all (a framework ? an application ? something related to
security ? a desktop environment ? ...)
I just did a "apt-cache search slim" and "apt-cache show slim"
to discover that "slim" is "a desktop-independent graphical login
manager for X11". In my opinion, you should just add this information
into your initial description.
Perhaps, it can begin with something like:
Slimlock is a X display locker based on slock (a simple X display locker)
and SLiM (a desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11).
In contrast to...
Regards,
Vincent
