If it's educational software you want, install some of the following
ubuntu-edu-preschool ubuntu-edu-primary ubuntu-edu-secondary
ubuntu-edu-tertiary. Installing these, plus edubuntu-artwork (which is
ugly imho), is basically all the edubuntu-desktop metapackage does.

Launch System -> Administration -> Login-Window (i.e. gdmsetup). You can
change which user is automatically logged in under the Security tab.
