[xubuntu-users] Login Arrangements

[Rob Ward]

Hi Folks,

I have been having great satisfaction moving from XP to xubuntu and 
after three previous computers, have finally migrated my laptop over to 
xubuntu.  As I was doing the conversion I created my own user profile, 
and the installation has been very successful.  The laptop however is 
shared with my wife. It is her main computer for serious work and I 
occasionally use it in the lounge room when required, for reasons of 
social interaction. (I pretend to watch her murder mysteries while 
tinkering).

The question is how can I make her login the default, so when she uses 
it she does not have to change users, and it goes directly to her 
account. At the moment it defaults to mine.  I would prefer a login 
screen like in XP where each person is shown with an avatar in a list 
and a simple click takes that person to their chosen login. Failing 
that, I would like to know how to set up for her the easier option of 
booting directly to her account, and I will do the "change user" bit on 
the odd occasion I use the machine.

  If there is some option I have missed that makes this trivial, I 
apologise and plead newbie status, however I have explored the "Settings 
Manager", "Session and Startup", and "Users and Groups" gui screens 
settings in many and various combinations but not have achieved anything 
as smooth as I would like.

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.
