The only security related problem that I see with gdm and auto-login is if you allow X logins remotely using gdm.

But what if you want thin-client terminals to come up as

That sort of usage would be great for remote auto-login.

I never considered remote logins to be a security problem before. I would not like my account to have auto-login enabled via a remote connection. I hope the default is for remote logins to be disallowed.

Whenever the development version is configurable again, I'll check whether it is disabled. (Configuration problem actually caused by something other than gdm railing cpu usage when the program is launched.)
