No, it's only a problem if you have evil people who have physical access to the machine so that they could reboot it and get logged in automatically. I think this is so anyway. Maybe if you started a remote X session it would be able to log you in, but I don't think it lets you do this. So no more a security hole then having a floppy drive in the machine into which somebody could stick a boot disk.
