    Yes, that is true.

    I have done it in BL2, so that when my wife logs in to MY machine,
she goes straight to her GUI, and it is the last line in
/home/monika/profile.

    In BL3, unless you make a user with their own profile, it would
require root to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to get back to the CLI.

   I agree.  :)
