Do you have the systemd useflag enabled?

I had this effect after I enabled the useflag even if I had booted using
openrc.

Perhaps should have checked this out earlier but found that slim is the
problem. When I disable xdm and start xfce4 using startx I don't get
the problem. Sorry I didn't check this earlier as been working for
a long time.

systemd use flag is not enabled.
