I'm starting X server via "slim" (XFCE4). When I enter a wrong
password the slim will not restart, it gives me black screen. Trying
to restart "xdm" over ssh does not help, I need to reboot the
computer.

Have you tried restarting the 'display-manager' service instead? IIRC,
it replaced xdm.

You are correct, I'm suing "display-manager" not xdm. So I was
restarting the wrong one :-/ that is why it didn't work. One of those
days.
And to login it uses "lightdm"
Thank you for the pointer.
