Guess on two common issues (autologin + installer icon)

Hi everybody,
I'm having such issues too and it seems it's common, so my thoughts on why such things happen: (later I'll elaborate a more apropriate answer to resolute those)
Autologin:
At least on lightdm in Ubuntu 16+ the configuration for autologin, now, is on the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/12-autologin.conf file with these contents for example:
###
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=<user>
autologin-user-timeout=0
###
where <user> is the user to autologin.

Installer icon:
Looks like the pinguy builder try to put the ubiquity installer directly to /home/$USER/desktop they don't get the desktop folder from XDG_DESKTOP_DIR variable, so if you have other desktop folder (e.g.: different language) it will create a "desktop" folder inside your "home" folder no matter your language.

Hoping to find out what the developer thinks and thank him for such helpful tool.
