To make this collection complete: You may also do a

dwrite loginwindow DefaultUser <loginname>

This will login the user "<loginname>" instead of "me"
automatically. <loginname> must not have a password. This is
not suitable for a networked environment.

You may also do a

dwrite loginwindow MoveWhenIdle YES

The loginwindow will begin to sweep across the screen after an
idle period to prevent burnin. The animation is extremely bad.
