Thank you very much, Andy.

It took a while to answer you, because there were localization issues. Last and 
annoying one was the keyboard layout indicator on lxpanel  which was displaying 
US, instead of BR as default. I was going to write this, and suddenly it 
switched to the right one without my intervention.

Hoping to some env variables could be used when calling X, I have adapted a 
little your instructions:

        user=fernando
        su - ${user} -l -c "env LANG=pt_BR.utf8 xinit ~/.xinitrc &> 
~/.x-session-errors"

If you tell me that for some reason I should do /etc/X11/xinitrc instead of 
~/.xinitrc, I will change immeadiately.

I have done it in LFS6.7, and now will do in the others.

About the security problems with slim, I thought, when I followed the thread, 
that it would not concern me, because I was using lxdm. I do not know what a 
"fork bomb" is and still do not know how to "limit the number of processes and 
protect against a fork bomb".

Thanks again.
