As it turns out, the problem was a typo in my autologin.pl script. However, with GDM, the script is run for all client machines, and those that aren't set up for autologin just restart the client's X server, which works but is annoying to look at. Do you know if there is any way in GDM to set the autologin so only specified client machines even try to autologin? With KDM I think this is possible (haven't tried it), but the greeter in KDM seems broken since any changes I make to that don't show up at the login screen.
