Martin: as a test I created the user 'laptop' & modified the custom.conf accordingly. Autologin to that username works (standard login does not), but if I try to switch to another user from 'laptop' (ggserv for example) I get the same results; gdm loops & sends me back to the switcher password to get back into 'laptop'. Ctl-Alt-F1, login as 'gg' & change custom.conf to 'gg', stop/start gdm & puts me to the 'gg' desktop, go back to the console & exit & F8 gets me back to the 'gg' desktop. I can repeat for the other usernames.

I then deleted 'laptop' (including home folder files), switch user from 'gg' and gdm menu still showing 'laptop'. So apparently deleting a user from the Users Settings isn't working, there is no 'laptop' in /home but I bring up Users Settings after reboot and I see that 'laptop' is still listed as a user.
