Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

note: I have autologin set up.
when I use the log out (or change user) button, gdm offers me the login dialog, and I click on my username.
If I type the wrong password, wait for the failure timeout and click back on my user name, I'm auto logged in back.
I don't think that this is the wanted behavior

the issue seems that gdm is crashing, so it gets restarted and autologin happens again there
