Trying to setup autologin via user preferences in control panel, it does not work. The /etc/gdm/custom.conf seems to contain the right entries, but the password prompt is displayed anyway.

There is this reddit thread [1] and also Fedora BZ confirming this.

Glad to hear that. I couldn't find such bug, because the I can't see any relation to X11.
