Well all I can say is that I've just tried it with autologin to Gnome, and it
works like magic, and I have access to the Gnome desktop, just as it does
with autologin to KDE.
That's all I can say. Adding the lines, as above to /etc/gdm/custom.conf, just
seem to work, whether that is for KDE, or Gnome.
I can also confirm that it works in Gnome. I've been using it for a
