I doubt this is intentional. It is a gnome program, so they might be 
protecting us from our own desires. I've never attended a gnome sermon, 
but it sure must be enlightening.

The changelog for gdm in development doe not state intentional breakage 
via the gnome think tank. It only references early-login improvements.

Try removing rhgb from the kernel parameter ling in grub and add 
early-login instead.


  rpm -q --changelog gdm |grep auto
- Make early-login work with timed and automatic logins
- automake14 really needed, not automake
- fix build with current auto*
- put gdm-autologin pam config file in file list, hope
- automatic rebuild
