yep, if immediate, autoLogin is turned off; I think this wasn't intentional
(I wanted to override(turn on) existing autoLogin pref when scheduling enabled;
but don't want to override otherwise). I'll fix so that it still sees
the 'global' autoLogin pref if set when Immediate.

it was only added in 2.0s-2 -- I had thought it was in there earlier
(before 2.0r-2).
so you wouldn't see it in the public eval version
