You've been complaining about all this for 7 years. It would have taken
less time to implement the feature yourself. Nobody else will do it. So
if you don't want to switch to another DM, you have to implement it. And
don't tell me you don't know how to implement it, since 7 years is way
enough to learn what's needed here.

Also, if you really want autologin, did you try removing xdm entirely
and hacking your startup scripts so as to start the user X session
directly? May be ugly, but maybe less horrible than entering your
login/passwd every day for the last 10 years :)
