After a lot more research it does seem like all that should be necessary is 
to have these lines...

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=<username>
TimedLoginDelay=10

...in /etc/gdm/custom.conf.   I have booted my BBB from a fresh flash, 
added my own user, changed the above to reflect the new user, and still the 
login greeting panel hangs.  When looking at top I do not see anything 
obvious that is running. 

PLEASE can someone HELP?
