Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
Release:        9.10


$ apt-cache policy gdm
gdm:
  Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1
  Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1
  Version table:
 *** 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1 0
        500 http://gulf karmic-updates/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0

If I configure autologin in gdm, it works for the initial login in a gdm 
session. Upon choosing logout from the Session menu, it does not auto login 
again.
If the gdm service is restarted, autologin will work again as expected for the 
initial session, but logout fails again.

The expected behaviour is that upon logging out, the gdm will honour the
autologin and timedlogin options configured in /etc/gdm/custom.conf

# cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=ubuntu
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=ubuntu
TimedLoginDelay=1
