Enabling automatic login causes GDM not to start

[hotice]

After enabling the automatic login feature in GDM3Setup and setting a timed login, GDM doesn't start and just freezes.

Tested on Ubuntu 12.10 with GDM3.6.

GDM3Setup sets this to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file:

[daemon]
TimedLoginDelay=30
TimedLogin=andrei
TimedLoginEnable=1
AutomaticLoginEnable=0

While the same configuration file seems to use a slightly different syntax (copy/paste from the file):

Enabling automatic login

AutomaticLoginEnable = true

AutomaticLogin = user1

Enabling timed login

TimedLoginEnable = true

TimedLogin = user1

TimedLoginDelay = 10

Update: oh, and one more thing: after enabling automatic login in GDM3Setup, if I disable it, the modifications GDM3Setup did to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf remain unchanged.

I have tested in Ubuntu 12.10 (upgraded from 12.04) under VMWare. I have no bug, Automatic and Timed Login Work.

I have similar bugs in ArchLinux :

Timed Login : not login after countdown, can manual login.

Can't modify autologin settings, when daemon started as DBus Service.

I can modify autologin settings, when daemon started manually as root.

Or with gdmlogin.py as root.
