i would reccomend kdm. i use kdm on my desktops even though my
actual desktop is afterstep 1.6

in KDE 2's kdm there is an 'autologin' function (you can find it
if you run 'kcontrol'. i have never tried it and don't know if it works..

you can probably do it through pam, but provided this kdm thing works
its probably easier that way.

i've used kdm for a long time since its easy to configure additional
window managers, has shutdown/reboot/console login/restart X server
options, and i can password protect the shutdown/reboot options if i want.
