That is precisely what I suggested NOT to do. Instead of changing
/usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf you can override settings in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf. Both to fix some mistakes and to make your
own changes. This is exactly why you have the later file.
'defaults.conf' will get clobbered on the next update.

Indeed. In no uncertain terms.

At least the changes to /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf will revert back to
default (hopefully correct) on the next update,
whereas /etc/gdm/custom.conf will not (I assume).
Therefore, change /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf for the workaround
and /etc/gdm/custom.conf for customization.
