I use xfce since fedora 13 and slim also. I always had to do something to make it works.
What are those problems with consolekit you mentioned?

I, personally, agree that GDM should be replaced, especially after someone decided to move "reboot" 
and "shutdown" to it. (I found it in Fedora XFCE spin), so now I am thinking how to allow "systemctl 
reboot" for normal user from xfce.
I will check LightDM, but as long as slim works for me, I am going to use it.
