I'd be interested in seeing/reading this too.

I've done similar on my Netbook but not at the exclusion of the standard desktop.
My netbook boots Xubuntu with a custom AmigaOS background for the greeter (login screen).  If I log in as my normal user I'm presented with the standard XFCE desktop.  However, if I log in as 'amiga', XFCE starts but instantly spawns FS-UAE (from a user perspective XFCE is invisible unless FS-UAE is minimised).   FS-UAE boots to a high res Picasso OS3.1 display, showing the same AmigaOS wallpaper as the greeter/login screen.  It *looks* like I've simply logged into AmigaOS :D

It's great for baffling other commuters!

Your solution seems much better for a pure Amiga experience though!
