Binary package hint: gdm

Using Ubuntu Jaunty Beta 1 up to date (20090401)

A co-worker had trouble with the auto login in GDM, the screen kept showing a blank screen and never started gnome. So after investigating I found that he had enabled the encryptfs of his home directory. Disabling the autologin solved the problem.

Would it be possible that GDM informed about this or ask for the password to "unlock" the home?
Maybe, with a encryptfs home one shouldn't be allowed to activate auto-login.
