Good evening, Chris,

Still putting in a lot of thought on my Digital Picture Frame project
and realized that it sure would be easier if whenever I need to reboot
it (remotely) or it shuts off from a power loss it will load right
into x without prompting for a password as the user I want to run it
as. I'm using Fedora 9. I'm pretty much looking for it to behave like
XP defaults when only one user account is set up. Then I'd likely just
save the session and have it load the appropriate software/scripts.
The nice thing is that the ATI Remote Wonder generally just works with
this without much setup, so I can access most things that only need
mouse actions remotely.
I'm still googling it, without much success, but I'm sure someone here
knows how.
It took me quite a while in searches, false starts, and
mini-howtos that no longer work. Here's what seems to work just fine for
me in Fedora 9:
as root, edit /etc/gdm/gdm-schemas
and make your changes in this section:
<schema>
<key>daemon/TimedLoginEnable</key>
<signature>b</signature>
<default>true</default> <====change to true
</schema>
<schema>
<key>daemon/TimedLogin</key>
<signature>s</signature>
<default>yourusername</default> <====your user name
</schema>
<schema>
<key>daemon/TimedLoginDelay</key>
<signature>i</signature>
<default>10</default> <===how long you want to wait (seconds)
</schema>
Good luck!
Cheers,
- Bill
