Bug Description
I've been testing alternative DE's in both Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME Saucy and I've been selecting "auto-login" during installation of the OS.
I now notice that going to System Settings > User Accounts and changing the automatic login status from on to off has no effect. Since it effects both Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME it's also fair to say it effects both lightdm and gdm.

I did some testing with the new Trusty image (circa Oct 21) and I find that if I select NOT to auto-login during installation I can successfully change to auto-login successfully,
But once I've changed to auto-login switching it to "off" does NOT work. But this is very preliminary so I need to explore further.
I'm certainly more concerned with Saucy ATM.
