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.
I guess the latest GDM rpm is borked then?
Indeed. In no uncertain terms.
