casper doesn't configure GDM autologin correctly

[Jeremy Bícha]

casper/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin has code to enable autologin in GDM. There's also code that tries to detect whether autologin has already been enabled (such as by a persistent USB key that had been booted once before). However in Quantal, the gdm configuration file (/etc/gdm/custom.conf) has changed and the detection code is confused.

Note the difference between

and

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/quantal/gdm/quantal/view/head:/data/gdm.conf-custom.in

I've got a merge proposal that I think can fix this.

Replace the commented out values, rather than inserting duplicate entries, this is more in line with the rest of the script.
