"mobile" in sense of "portable" as: netbook, notebook, laptop

> Suspend to RAM just after having switched on ? 

No, not necessarily. I meant you to prepare for your presentation by opening
and arranging all needed programs at home, suspend your device and wake it up
the moment you need it. Waking up is quite fast and you can make it query for
the password.

Hard-drive encryption also requires a password. People likely dislike entering
first the hard-drive password and second the login password, so auto-login
without password is perfectly sensible if you are using hard-drive encryption.
On the other hand, if you don't use hard-drive encryption, the requested
feature of auto-login + locked screen provides a false semblance of security,
while the device can easily be compromised.

In short:
- the original request is a security anti-feature
- suspend2RAM will hopefully be an acceptable workaround (security-wise as well
as usability-wise)
