Yes, i identified the source of the problems. I don't mean the source
code (it is out of my knowledge), but configuration only.

Today i tried new jessie installation in the VirtualBox, because i want
to test another DM. The LightDM is installed by default (for default
XFCE), then i decided try to reproduce this problem, before i replace it.

I start with clean system - all in default state. First i set the
autologin user with 10 sec timeout and i see, that all works as expected
- in mean, the autologin is working. Then i try to fill password before
timeout happen and password is hidden!

Then i take look into my real config and i set the hide users to false:

greeter-hide-users=false

And problems are here! The autologin stop to works and password is not
hidden. Then it seems, that all is related to the showing user names in
greater. BTW i am using the default greeter, with default settings -
the display manager is not my goal ;-)

I CC this to the autologin bug (mentioned early) too, because the both
problems seems to be related to displaying the users list.

regards
