   Complete fuck-up on my part. I had excluded KDE packages and just kept   
   xfce. KDE/ also in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist. Hence - no sddm. Slackpkg   
   reinstall sddm says no package!   
      
   However, thanks Jimmy, slackpkg reinstall xdm, change inittab to   
   runlevel 4 and a reboot gives me a login screen.   
      
   Sorry for the off-topic chatter.
