Bug#670185: Facility to disable Autologin with kdm.d files
Package: kde-workspace
Version: 4:4.7.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Currently it's only possible to activate auto login with a configuration
snippet in /etc/default/kdm.d but it's not possible to deactivate auto
login in the same way. This would be convenient for a package I'm
developing which is an addition to Debian Live to allow users to plug in
their Debian Live system, have it automatically mounted as the home
directory and then login into the system with their account. For this to
work I would like to have a way to deactivate the autologin that was
activated by live-config.
The attached patch implements this with a new variable AUTOLOGINENABLE
but leaves the semantics as they are currently in the absence of this
variable.
Thanks for considering this patch.
