Package: gdm
Version: 2.4.1.7-1
Severity: normal
After I upgraded to kernel-image-2.6.3-686 the autologin functionality of gdm has
stopped working. Worked great with 2.4.x. It's possible that some other upgrade may
have caused this, as I update pretty regularly, but it coincides perfectly with
the kernel update.
