Hi Robert That bug seems to be for lightdm-gtk-greeter. I'm using unity-greeter and timed login does not work.
Config: [SeatDefaults] #user-session=ubuntu user-session=XBMC greeter-session=unity-greeter autologin-user=xbmc autologin-user-timeout=10 When I comment out "autologin-user-timeout" auto login works: i.e. Ubuntu boots into the XBMC user session as the XBMC user. If I set "autologin-user-timeout=10" I see the log in screen for about a second and then the session logs in as the XMBC user into a Unity session. This bug still exists in the latest updates fro precise.
