Should then see login screen where you can choose to boot in as either one of you. Choose "sam-the-editor" and login there. Then do shutdown/reboot from that account and see if it still auto-logs-in to "happyfamily".
If not solved, you may want to also post question about that on Lubuntu forums in case nobody here knows the answer. I've never used Lubuntu, so not familiar with how there gui may work. Also not sure what setting "sam-the-editor" to "Desktop user" did and whether that may have affected (or not) the settings specified with the command I specified for setting up that user. The whole point of using the command was to get the account setup exactly the same way as in LL. If their defaults for "Desktop user" are not the same as in the command things may have changed.
@goldfinger...
many thanks indeed for your patience & kindness. I set up Lubuntu again as you outlined, following your instructions to the letter - I persevered some more with this though regrettably with limited success. I was able to get the login choice box to appear, by changing the 'time out' from 0 to 60 at boot. The final straw, that made me abandon Lubuntu 14.04.5 completely, was when I found my son could boot into both my admin a/c & his user a/c with his password! I reset the passwords using the terminal and ended up with a PC that failed to boot... aaargh!!!
So, in the end, I convinced my young son that LL3.0 was the way to go (he seems happy enough) , as I feel more confident with this OS more than other distro, thanks largely to LL-forum support - setting up the user & admin accounts was really straightforward compared to Lubuntu! Just have some problems running Supertuxkart version 0.8.1-2 in LL3.0 - I sent a separate request for help on this today at https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/games...n#msg27100
Thanks again goldfinger
