I agree. It bugs me (a little) every time I log in that I have to actively click on the only user on my userlist before I can start typing in the password. Not the best way to start your Linux Mint experience, with an unnecessary nuisance.
The only user present should be pre-selected. In case of more than one user, either the top of the list or the last used should be pre-selected.

Relatively common complaint by now - latest example: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=123313

We'll get this done. It might be a little while before we focus on MDM but it's part of our roadmap for Mint 15 (greeter, borders, performance, usability..etc).

Awesome :o)

Apologies for the bump, but has this (or is this still planned to be) implemented? I'm trying out mdm 1.1.5 on raring and I can't find any way to preselect a user. I noticed "Usability improvements" was marked as [Done] in the roadmap for LM15 so I'm a bit worried about this feature. Thanks :)
Edit: Four months later and I've finally made the move to Mint 15 now that the KDE edition has arrived. It's great! Congrats and thanks to your team! I wasn't a KDE user before, but this release was enough to convert me.
Unfortunately, I still need to install Lightdm due to this feature being missing from MDM. I hope to see it in Mint 16 and I wish I knew how to contribute the changes myself. Hopefully this improvement can make the roadmap for the next release.

Hi Clem,
I would also be so glad if I had the preselected user feature back! As it is now already August maybe you already implemented it for the next Mint? It really is a nuasance - sometimes I type my password in the user field and it is visible :-(
many greets,
Jürgen

Hi,
I agree with OWKenobi. Linux Mint 15 seems to be pretty user-friendly but the login screen design is silly. Please implement the pre-select of the last logged user account.
Thx a lot in advance!

This is now implemented in the lose-10-pounds branch and should very likely be ready in time for Mint 16.

How to "deselect" the automatically selected user if i need to change it (and using a login screen without user list but a text login field for the username only)?
