Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Symptoms:
1. After running "sudo gdmsetup" any changed settings are instantly forgotten 
on gdmsetup exit. This is the same after restoring gdm.conf with 
factory-gdm.conf and rebooting.

2. When having added additional servers in gdm.conf-custom and rebooted, these 
are not listed when issuing:
gdmflexiserver -c "GET_SERVER_LIST"

3. Custom theme settings and settings like "Exclude=nobody,media" in gdm
.conf-custom are not active not even after reboot.

Btw, gdmsetup complains about the following when running and changing settings:
