Please describe the problem:
If an "Other" user is logging in, gdm ignores the ~/.dmrc file.  This only affects "Other" users--if a user has previously logged in and appears in the menu, their ~/.dmrc will be processed correctly.

This bug has been stagnating on bugzilla.redhat.com for a long time (bug #449107).

Steps to reproduce:
1. click on "Other"
2. type a username that doesn't appear in the list of previously logged in users and hit enter

Actual results:
The default system desktop/language settings are selected.  The ~/.dmrc file is ignored.  If the user logs in, the ~/.dmrc file will be overwritten with the default settings.

Expected results:
Gdm should check ~/.dmrc after the username is entered and before the password is entered.  Gdm should set the desktop/language settings specified by the user in the ~/.dmrc file.

Does this happen every time?
It only happens for "Other" users.  Users that have been previously logged in will find that their ~/.dmrc is correctly processed.

Other information:
I recently tried the Fedora 11 Beta, and although I wasn't paying very close attention, I'm pretty sure that I ran into this bug again.  In other words, I'm pretty sure that 2.26 is still affected by this bug.
