Bug Description

Despite having the following in my /etc/gdm/gdm.conf:

AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=scott

gdm gives me the login screen. There's a brief black screen before it, could
this be a login attempt?

same problem here, seems like gdm-autologin is missing two files in /lib/security :

pam_stack.so and pam_console.so
