Tim,

during testing Ubuntu nightly-livecd I noticed that in the casper is there a 
hack to ensure automatic login. And settings for automatic login in the 
installation on disk (Ubiquity) does not work.

Know that the package casper-trinity addresses exactly that you do not need to 
hack the automatic login into upstream package casper. And package 
ubiquity-trinity solves setting autologin in Ubiquity to work after 
installing on the disk.
