You're welcome, glad you've found at least a temporary workaround.
Yes, I'm familiar with ambidextrous and close relative, ambi-clumsy!<VBG>
Since you want the other user to log in, I believe the script would have to
be for you since you want the system to automatically log you in after a
specified time. Nonetheless, login scripts are fairly common, you should be
able to find plenty of examples.
Good luck.
