    Latest pi os. if I have lightdm set for any delay then the user --
    mostly -- is not logged in. A session with chatgpt diagnosed and
    provided a workaround:

    [Seat:*]
    greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
    autologin-user=display
    autologin-user-timeout=30


    Issues are with:
    dpkg -l lightdm pi-greeter
    ....
    =================================
    ii lightdm 1.26.0-8+rpt5 arm64 simple display manager
    ii pi-greeter 0.25 arm64 GTK greeter for Raspberry Pi



    Anyone else fallen foul of this?
