I use the ~/.xsession file.  It's (usually) a shell script, and you can
just execute `xmonad` from there.  It will override whatever login
script slim uses:

    #! /usr/bin/env sh
    exec xmonad

Note that the file must be executable and XMonad must be either
installed in your profile or enabled in your configuration.nix.
