Okay, this is my last comment :) If your problem is that a keyboard layout switching shortcut like "Shift+Shift" doesn't survive a reboot when autologin is enabled, then you can fix it like this:
Go to System->Prefences->Sessions. You'll see a "Sessions Preferences" dialog with your startup programs. Click on "Add" to add a new startup program. Create a new startup entry like this: Name: Apply Keyboard Settings Command: setxkbmap This will allow your keyboard shortcuts to take effect upon rebooting. I've confirmed that this works for me, using Ubuntu 8.04, with my keyboard switching shortcut "Shift+Shift." After add this startup program, my keyboard shortcut now survives rebooting.
