While the latter sounds great, it's a bit much for what I need. I
guess I was a bit sparse on the details. I didn't mean a login screen
just like XP's, but I'd like them to login from their own alt-f*
screen with a username and passwd and have it start an xsession for
them, regardless of whether the last person using the box had logged
off his xsession.
