not too terribly difficult... you'll be editing the "navbar" template (about a quarter of the way down through the file). first you need to add a "name" attribute to the login form...

<!-- login form -->
		<form action="login.php" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)">

changes to

<!-- login form -->
		<form action="login.php" method="post" name="vb_login_form" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)">

Then just add the following javascript to the end of the login form section...

		<script type="text/javascript">
		document.vb_login_form.vb_login_username.focus();
		</script>
		<!-- / login form -->
