Bug#595199: gdm: face browser removed me

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.11-1
Severity: normal

A few days ago, I was removed from the face-browser in gdm. No
re-configuration of gdm had been performed and no new version of dgm
was installed. However, I run Debian testing and regulary update to
current testing.

The user-configuration in gdm is set to /etc/passwd . But I also tried
to change to not use /etc/passwd, and added myself to the include
list. The result is the same, I'm excluded from the face-browser, and
I don't get any error-message from gdm. I can however remove and add
other users.

Also, I can login by writing my login-name in gdm.
