** Description changed:

- How to reproduce:
-  * Have a user with automatic logon in 12.04
-  * Update to 12.10
-  * Automatic logon still works
-  * the Users Account reports "Automatic logon" is Off
+ [Impact]
+ A Unity user in Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 will always see automatic login as 
turned off, even when it is currently enabled for that user.  This does not 
affect the functioning of autologin itself, just whether it appears enabled or 
not.  This may lead to user confusion, and is a regression from 12.04.
+ 
+ [Reproduction steps]
+ 0) Be on Ubuntu 12.10
+ 1) Go to System Settings -> Users
+ 2) Unlock the pane
+ 3) Toggle "Automatic login" on for a given user
+ 4) Reboot
+ 5) Go back to System Settings -> Users
+ 6) Note the value of "Automatic login"
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low.  Only affects a code path that decides whether to check the gdm value or 
the lightdm value for autologin.  Previously, a logic bug meant that we always 
checked the gdm value.
