I remember the first few times using SLiM on a slightly older computer. After 
logging in the screen would simply clear and I was left wondering whether 
things were working or if I had gotten the config wrong and things were just 
hosed.  So the second patch adds visual feedback similar to what you get when 
typing "halt" at the prompt.

They're my own patches :). But sure, the others SLiM patches have authors 
listed too.
