I can't reproduce that, also the package "bash-completion" is installed by default on lucid, also the lines:

if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi

are uncommented by default for new users created. I have the gdm package version gdm_2.30.0-0ubuntu3 and I have no problems.

The default permissions of the directory for new users created is different than karmic, so this is surely an upgrade-related problem. However I don't think it's an gdm-related problem, because if gdm can't write in the home directory, the configuration files can't be created.

Just give the permission to access, write, delete, rename and read the files in the directory.

I'm going to mark the bug in "gdm" as invalid because it isn't an gdm-related problem.
