[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This patch fixes GDM's auto-login feature.

See the discussions in #35674 and #40411. It works for me, but I don't want to just commit it because I don't really understand PAM. (Then again, who does?)

This is one of the alternatives Timothy proposed in #35674 back in May
last year(!).  As long as GDM still rejects wrong or blank passwords, I
think it is good to go.

It would be good to get it in 1.2.0.  :-)
