After logging in once, GDM "remembers" the session. Unfortunately, if you log in on a different machine in a computer lab or reinstall, it "forgets" the session again. I understand that GDM can't (and shouldn't) write to users' home directories, but it should at least be reading the file in the home directories and honoring their explicit configuration.
