Modified custom.conf to:

[daemon]
AutomaticLogin=laptop
AlwaysLoginCurrentSession=false
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
TimedLoginEnable=false
TimedLogin=laptop
TimedLoginDelay=30
DefaultSession=gnome.desktop

rebooted and the session results in bringing up the standard gdm menu
list. Selected gg-main and it goes into the loop. Ctrl-Alt-F1 to console &
- log in as gg,
- 'sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf',
- change from 'laptop' to 'gg',
- 'sudo stop gdm' and then 'sudo start gdm'
- back into user 'gg' desktop.

Yes, I have ubuntu-destop version:
$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop
ubuntu-desktop:
  Installed: 1.195
  Candidate: 1.195
  Version table:
 *** 1.195 0

installed.

Attached are auth.log (for today only), 0-greeter.log.1 & 0-greeter.log.
