Found this while trying to do auto-login w/WindowMaker: open up an xterm and run
kcontrol.  This brings up the KDE control center.  On System->Login Manager are
all the goodies for doing auto-login, etc.

Note:
If you are not currently logged in as a superuser, you will need to click the
Administrator Mode Button. You will then be asked for a superuser password.
Entering a correct password will allow you to modify the settings of this
module.
