Since there is no gdmsetup in rawhide, what's the alternative to
allowing autologin of a user?

P.S. I'm sorry if this question was already answered, I couldn't find
it.
P.P.S. When do we expect a replacement for gdmsetup?


 as root, edit /etc/gdm/gdm-schemas
 and make your changes in this section:

 <schema>
      <key>daemon/TimedLoginEnable</key>
      <signature>b</signature>
      <default>true</default>         <====change to true
    </schema>
    <schema>
      <key>daemon/TimedLogin</key>
      <signature>s</signature>
      <default>yourusername</default> <====your user name
    </schema>
    <schema>
      <key>daemon/TimedLoginDelay</key>
      <signature>i</signature>
      <default>10</default>      <===how long you want to wait (seconds)
    </schema>

 There is a web page somewhere with more information.  try googling gdmsetup

You don't want to do it that way.  These schemas are used by the
program to interpret the values stored in /etc/gdm/custom.conf.
You'll want to put your changes into custom.conf.

Something like:
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=you

A bit more information here:

This is much better and the web page is the one I couldn't find earlier. Thanks.
