If you want to be automatically logged in without authentication, try the nodm package. Otherwise, I do not know much about slim; can you try running `dpkg-reconfigure slim` as root? You probably want to create a file `~/.xsession` (that is, `.xsession` in your $HOME) containing `exec i3wm`. If you add other startup commands later, they should go *before* this line.
