The user could enable a setup that allows the system to log on automatically on startup, but then denies access to the mouse and keyboard until the password is entered. That way, if you turn on your computer and walk away, you'll return and only have to enter a password to begin using the computer.

Unless you use disk encryption, the login doesn't provide any security anyway.

I think it would be better to encrypt private parts of the system, and simply require a password from the keyring in order to access any of these parts.

I encrypt my Firefox data, so the keyring must be unlocked before anybody can open Firefox. This also means people can use another browser on my laptop without being able to access my stuff.

I documented the Firefox encryption method at:

Lightdm should still bee the login manager, but the loading process could be started automatically for the user "chosen/marked" in lightdm. this does requirer more work by the system, but before login there is no other other need for the muscles anyway. In cases of multiple user the user could all bee loaded, one by one. starting from the one "chosen/marked".
