Tim,

Take a look at KDM. The kdmrc file will allow you
to setup entries for individual workstations, and have
them automatically log in.

This question came up while I was giving a tutorial
in Frankfurt, Germany.  Within about 5 minutes, we had
auto-login working.

You turn on the workstation, it boots up and X comes up
and presto, you will see KDE or Gnome or whatever window
manager you want.

Hope that helps,
