[Bug 1375392] [NEW] when autlogin with a timeout is used, it should be reapplied when the user logs out.

 

Public bug reported:

When lightdm is setup with an autologin (eg autologin-user=xxx and
autologin-user-timeout=nn) and the user logs out, it should log back in
(unless the user logs into a different user before the timeout expires).
This should happen *every* time the user logs out.  The current
incarnation of lightdm under 14.04.1 (1.10.2) only autologins the first
time after boot.  This is wrong.  See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1302491 for the fix applied to
lightdm 1.11.
