Fedora xfce auto login

How to auto login with fedora xfce? I installed fedora 19 Xfce Spin on virtualbox to test it. Installation goes smoothly, everything is fine until at the login screen. I don’t want to type in username and password every time i turn on fedora virtualbox. Here is how to bypass the login screen with auto login.

Open a terminal and enter:

$ su -
 # nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

The Original (fedora 9) lightdm.conf looks like:

[SeatDefaults]
 #type=xlocal
 xserver-command=X -background none
 #xserver-layout=
 #xserver-config=
 #xserver-allow-tcp=false
 #xdmcp-manager=
 #xdmcp-port=177
 #xdmcp-key=
 greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
 #greeter-hide-users=false
 #greeter-allow-guest=true
 #greeter-show-manual-login=false
 #greeter-show-remote-login=true
 #user-session=default
 #allow-guest=true
 #guest-session=UNIMPLEMENTED
 session-wrapper=/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession
 #display-setup-script=
 #greeter-setup-script=
 #session-setup-script=
 #session-cleanup-script=
 #autologin-guest=false
 # autologin-user=
 #autologin-user-timeout=0
 #autologin-session=UNIMPLEMENTED
 #exit-on-failure=false

look for # autologin-user= and remove the # autologin-user= username (the user you want to auto login with

sample

autologin-user= namhuy
