xfce autologin is not working

[Sasa Paporovic]

On raring installation I have choosed to login manually.

Later after finished installation I have used

Settings -> Users and Groups -> "User" -> Password

to check the checkbox "Don't ask for pasword on login".

A look at

Settings -> Session and Startup -> General -> Session Chooser

shows me that the Checkbox "Display Chooser on Login" was unchecked.

A newstart of the system brought up anyway the Display Chooser. Only the password request was gone.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Scenario:

A user has choosen manuall login during installation and want to change this after installation to auto login.

Autologin does not work, only password request could be disabled.

------------------------------------------

Additional:

No other desktop manager is installed in parallel on the system.
