Description siriusb 2011-09-13 10:27:13 UTC 
With autologin enabled login gnome-shell won't start. After deleting relevant lines from /etc/gdm/custom.conf it works.

Version gdm 3.1.91

greeter.log attached. If you need slave.log or anything else just let me know.

Hey thanks for the report on this.

I was able to reproduce.  It was a regression introduced from a recent commit.

The following fix has been pushed:

daemon: fix autologin

In commit 6849f6f3b8a199bed5427b8d6f1e2dedbe035d6c
the code was changed to stop the greeter asynchronously
and start the session following its completion.

Autologin doesn't have a greeter though, so this broke
it.

This commit fixes autologin.
