I am running more-or-less pure slink, upgraded from hamm. I think you may
need the xdm package installed before switchdm can work, even if you
un-install it later. I seem to recall (from all of two days ago) that I
dpkg -purge ed xdm while X was up and some very odd things happened. I
rapidly dpkg --install ed it again and switchdm then worked fine.
I am actually a bit out of my depth here. Calling all display manager
gurus....
