There is a section in the preferences->customize settings of Variety which may do what you are trying to do. The catch is that this works only with lightDM, so you will need to make sure that LightDM is installed and active:
sudo apt install lightdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
and then you will need to reboot...
Variety indicates that the lightDM interface is 'touchy', and offers some suggestions as to what to do if it does not work: https://answers.launchpad.net/variety/+faq/2271
Please be aware that this dates back to 2013, and may not work at all with current versions of Ubuntu.
