I received two suggestions, neither suitable:
   1. nodm was recommended by the ??? who has publicly stated 
that he ignores
      how I phrase my questions.
   2. runt was also suggested. I chased down a series of links 
but didn't see
      how to apply it to my preferences.

Prior to my post I had done a web search for "autologin". I did 
another with [I assume] slightly different criteria. I suspect 
"DE independence" may not be achievable.
