I use autologin at the thinclients at home, from (the book that is under 
translation, hopefully to a language near you :-)
http://skolelinux.org/~klaus/newnotater/x2482.html

In the file /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc
(substitute kde2 with kde3 if you are using kde3)
add the following line to enable autologin of the user "frederic"
on the thinclient ltsp010(192.168.0.10 must be set 
in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd-debian-edu.conf)

[X-ltsp010:0-Core]
AutoLoginEnable=true
AutoLoginUser=frederic


If you just want the kdm loginbox to come up with your username already 
filled in, so that you just need to type the password, this will fix 
that:

[X-ltsp010:0-Greeter]
PreselectUser=Default
DefaultUser=frederic
