19.10 fails to allow login from desktop if enable automatically login

[Paul Hothersall]

BUG - based on clean install 19.10 desktop x86-64

If user selects "Log me in Automatically" on install, then they can never login from the desktop login prompt.

The system appears to login the use, but not actually show the session. Dropping to a different TTY, can manually login on the terminal.

The issue is repeatable.

The default user is 100% logged in the background, and any attempts to shutdown from the GUI warns of other users logged in.
