replacing lxdm with slim

Hi,

In Fedora 17 and before, I could successfully replace lxdm with slim
just by uninstalling one (lxdm) and installing slim. Doing so in Fedora
18 does not "work". By that, I mean that I do not get the graphical
display with slim: instead, I get a text prompt and I have to login
with password, following which I have to type startx. Following a load
of text I am then put into the LXDE desktop screen.

What exactly do I need to do in F18 to get back the "old experience"? 

Happy to provide more information: I am not sure what would be helpful
and where to start.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
