Actually autologin works fine. It's just that the timeout is set to
30s instead of 0 (changed in the kickstart file, it seems).
I don't see a reason to display the login screen as there's nothing to
change there.
Cristoph, maybe you were thinking of lxdm? BTW, it looks like lxdm
received quite a few fixes since release 4.1, have you tried the git
version?
On another note, yesterday I opened a bug report for
system-config-users as it wouldn't open from the menu (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879591 ) and now on the
live-cd the same happened with system-config-date (needs
'StartupNotify=true' in their desktop files to trigger the
authentication dialogue).
I'm not sure if this failure is 100% consistent (e.g., if the pkexec
dialogue has been opened before maybe then apps calling it will work)
but it happened for me in Xfce in Debian so maybe the
system-config-xxx apps should check that?
