Whoah, thanks bluesguy!

Much like you, I have a very low maintenance system (pretty much just X, 
fluxbox, qt, myth and xine take up any significant space) and wanted to 
keep it that way, and couldn't find anything about autologin on such a 
setup anywhere (everyone just told me to use KDM/GDM) - although I didn't 
think to check the Myth lists, d'oh. Cheers for the heads up! I shall try 
haXx0ring away at it tonight in the hope that it will banish my cold. 
Although I think I'll have to learn alot more about the boot procedure 
before I have any hope of this working...
