[LightDM] Autologin (lightdm) questions

In your configuration you've configured the user "catalog" to automatically
log in after 30s. LightDM starts, it starts a greeter (unity-greeter) which
then starts authentication for the "heller" user (though it seem to have
taken ~45s to do this - it should have been immediate). About 10 seconds
after that you log in as the "catalog" user (can't tell if manually
selected or automatically by the greeter).

You can get the greeter log from /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log and that
may give you more information if the greeter has a fault. Also worth trying
is another greeter (e.g. lightdm-gtk-greeter).

The logs are not giving any indication that "heller" is being treated
special. The LightDM log appears to be truncated - it's not showing what
session was run for the "catalog" user so I can't tell what session type it
chose.
