Description

I think really useful thing would be ability to auto login to desktop but with locked screen. In this way user don't have to wait for programs to start after entering password meanwhile keeping security relatively high.

This has been discussed already many times (I've actually been doing it for my windows vista system and OSX system for ages).

Maybe one user has configured GNOME as desktop environment and the other use has configured KDE as desktop environment.

What does it load?

I assume then that this would be limited to a one user system

chig00: Try this...

Click on System > Preferences > Sessions > Add
Paste this in to the command field
gnome-screensaver-command -l
and then type Lock Screen in to the Name field.
Click OK
Now when you set your account to auto login it will automagically lock your screen.
