Yes point taken. To explain I do not want to use a Display Manager AT ALL! With the people that I am working with it is too complex to get them to type in a user name and password. I know that I can disable the login in GDM. But I have found that using GDM slows the system down considerably.  If there was an automated login via WDM or XDM then that might be more appropiate.

Thanks will try.
