    I managed to break my root-persistence apparently by installing Xfce and then modifying /etc/slim_conf as per
    http://wiki.debian.org/Xfce

    The above page did not mention permissions, so I did this (during a live root-persistence session):

    sudo vi /etc/slim_conf using
    and made the following change:
    #login_cmd setsid /usr/local/bin/desktop-session %session
    login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session

    I believe you don’t need to modify the slim.conf file. antiX created a script that is hooked to apt. After every desktop installation it will execute and automatically update slim.

    Please test it again without modifying slim.
    If you are still trying to save the live USB device with persistence, log in from tty1, edit and restore the slim.conf file to how it was before, then persist-save and reboot.
