This is definitely a cool feature, but unfortunately due to PAM compatability, it has been removed from the newer versions of GDM. See the changelog: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2003-June/msg00044.html
I'm assuming that since it is removed, there must be someway of configuring PAM such that it no longer requires passwords for certain users under certain login conditions (i.e: local X logins), but I haven't found any references to that yet.

So for > my home machine (which is usually logged in anyways) its great.
