This problem is really annoying in the following scenario: A public computer lab with computers that have two users, a desktop user (without sudo privileges) and an administrative user (with sudo privileges). In the past, we used timed login to automatically login the desktop user unless one of the volunteers maintaining the lab needed to log in as the administrator. In 9.10, when timed login is enabled for the desktop user you can't choose to log in as the administrator. Instead, you have to let gdm log the desktop user in and then use fast-user-switching to switch to the administrator. This is a lot slower, especially when the computers don't have much RAM.
