Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-6
Severity: normal

If you have a user settings for autologin enabled and this user is deleted or
you rename it, The gdm daemon hang at startup.
Gdm still in black screen . I known that the workaround is editing the
daemon.conf, fix the autologin settings and restart t.
But i think that gdm, must display the login prompt instead on hang if user
don't exist.
