Apparently, with SLiM there isn't. All information I dug up amounts to some intricate messing with .xinitrc and/or .xsessionrc. I actually tried (thanks to you I now have a Jessie VM with lightdm, slim, lxde and jwm installed ;D), but to no avail - it's a total mess and I'd expect it to break the moment I turn away. Taking into account that the SLiM project is abandoned [1], plus there were some other more severe problems with it (if my memory serves me right), I am not sure if it's the right tool to use for a display manager nowadays. I'd go with lightdm (and I actually do), for it just works out of the box and is in active development. But that's just my personal two cents worth. Sorry I cannot be of much more help here.
