Dear Maintainer,

from time to time (maybe once in three to five startups) I end up seeing
only a black screen when my PC has started up. Although I can't see a
thing, slim is running since I am able to log in by just typing my
credentials. Then I see the hard disk indicators flashing. If I switch
to a virtual console (e.g. by Ctrl-Alt-F1) and back (to VT2) then I see
my desktop environment as expected.

This bug is annoying for the average user, because one can think that
the PC is unusable or has crashed.

Thanks!
Christof
