Tested slim-1.3.2-3.mga1, I can login to different desktop/wm session now.

But uninstalled desktop/wm still showing up while toggling with F1. On a vm which has only LXDE, openbox, icewm installed, there are KDE, GNOME, xfce4, WindowMaker available. However, selecting those desktop/wm will login to icewm.

That's how slim works IIUC, it shows all the available DE's and WM's that are listed in /etc/X11/slim/slim.conf. It doesn't seem to have a built-in utility to check which session are actually installed or not.
