 '''Users who had a previous version of SLiM installed''' must completely replace both the previous '''case "$1"''' and '''DEFAULTSESSION=''' commands listed below with the '''exec $1''' command. For example, '''users who installed Manjaro Openbox 0.8.7.1 or earlier''' should first find the following section:
+ DEFAULTSESSION=openbox-session
+ case "$1" in
+     openbox) exec openbox-session ;;
+      xfce) exec xfce4-session ;;
+      gnome3) exec gnome-session ;;
+      kde) exec startkde ;;
+      cinnamon) exec gnome-session-cinnamon ;;
+      razor-qt) exec razor-session ;;
+      lxde) exec lxsession ;;
+      mate) exec mate-session ;;
+      *) exec $DEFAULTSESSION ;;
+ esac
+And make the necessary amendment so that it now looks like this:
+ exec $1
+To clarify for newer users, the entire ''.xinitrc'' file should now look like this:
