I guess yes. A bit annoying but standard behaviour and common to lightdm, gdm3, sddm and ldm (LTSP). The sequence 'Username, Session and Language choice, Password' would be okay as well. The chosen options (session, language) are stored in $HOME/.dmrc, so the username must be known. The next time you get what is stored in .dmrc if no other choice has been made (or the input sequence was wrong). Wolfgang
