Exactly.  What about Kiosk applications?  What about the laptop I built 
for my 72yo grandmother?  I have it set to boot and autologin, then 
start firefox and thunderbird automatically.  All she wants to do is 
read her email and go to the occasional website, the decision on whether 
she needs to enter a password to login should be mine.  Breaking the 
autologin option was a bad design choice.
