This patch fixes SLiM so it really waits for the X server to be ready before attempting to connect to it. Indeed, the X server notices that its parent process has a handler for SIGUSR1, and consequently sends it SIGUSR1 when it's ready to accept connections. The problem was that SLiM doesn't pay attention to SIGUSR1. So in practice, if X starts slowly, then SLiM gets ECONNREFUSED a couple of time on /tmp/.X11-unix/X0, then goes on trying to connect to localhost:6000, where nobody answers; eventually, it times out and tries again on /tmp/.X11-unix/X0, and finally it shows up on the screen.
