Autologin, not possible to select user?

Hello!

I am grying to set up autologin in GNOME 2.1.4 in my Etch-box.

But, the only user in the list I can chose from is the user I created
during initial install of the system. None of the users created after
install (more specifically, I would like to auto-logon the user mythtv)
is displayed in the list.

Need I perform some additional task for a user to be selectable?

(Yes, the mythtv-user has a password, and logging on manually works)
