I'm the bloke who posted this bug, and it's now stopped happening, so either an update worked, or some of my fiddling around did.
Here's what I think I did, but it's very possible that step 4 was all I needed to do, so maybe just try that first. One slight warning - doing this I've lost all the details about my wifi connection - signal strength etc. from the top right of the menu. I'm sure there are things I can download to give me that information, but it's not important to me so I haven't bothered. 1. Switched back to putting in my password and login at boot (ie went into System/Administration/Login window Security tab and I turned off enable automatic login and rebooted), then made sure all my updates were up to date in System/Administration/Update Manager). 2. In System/Administration/Network I went into the wireless connection and turned off "Enable Roaming Mode" and put in my wireless details - WEP key, SSID etc. 3. Rebooted and made sure wifi was still working. 4. Went back into System/Administration/Login window Security tab, turned back on enable automatic login, and clicked off the checkbox that says "Deny TCP connections to X-Server" Next time I booted it went straight in without prompting for anything. Hope this helps anyone else in the same boat.
