+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.
