Bug#597504: Remote TimedLogin disabled in gdm3

We use GDM in thin client environments and most of them are in kiosk
mode (libraries, telecenters, council public access, etc...).

In older versions, when GDM call autologin script, we clean the $HOME
dir, and do autologin.

KDM have autologin based on $DISPLAY name/hostname


I attach a better patch, that reads AllowRemoteAutoLogin.

With this patch user must explicit enable it, and TimedLogin must end on
a pipe "|" to be evaluated as script.


Please, reconsider it.


Greetings
