Both features, finding the default user and starting a login shell, 
would depend on improved wslbridge support.
About "-", I've submitted an issue:

Thanks for flattering me :) Sounds good after all the people asking for 
ever more features, silly ones as well as good ones.
Actually, after the WSL and Virtual Tabs endeavours, release frequency 
should become lower now.
I'd still like to bundle the package with a number of themes and perhaps 
bell sounds, to populate the config directory not only with localization 
files. I've so far hesitated because I don't want to get involved in 
copyright discussions. Any idea or opinion?
