Automatic login in Ubuntu 8.04 causes that keyboard switching applet stops work.

I added the following command to Session (System -> Preferences -> Session)
gnome-screensaver-command --lockWhy? When I login now:
* all programs are fully loaded
* all e-mails are retrieved
* no waiting time after login to work
* computer is locked, so nobody but me can use it

I like this. I have a headless server that is a pain to reboot. This way, I could have it boot and auto login, then lock the screen saver automatically. This way I can RemoteAccess into the box. Now, I can’t seem to get RemoteAccess until logged in the first time at the console.

Nice tip indeed. I get irritated sometimes typing in the same username and pass the hundredth time.
