Thanks for your report. This is actually a bug in accountsservice, which
relies on a fixed path to the GDM configuration file. In Debian, it
is /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf while /etc/gdm/custom.conf is hardcoded.

Here is a trivial fix. Ideally it should be customizable by a configure
option, just like it is for gdm.

Cheers,
