Modified custom.conf to: [daemon] AutomaticLogin=laptop AlwaysLoginCurrentSession=false AutomaticLoginEnable=true TimedLoginEnable=false TimedLogin=laptop TimedLoginDelay=30 DefaultSession=gnome.desktop rebooted and the session results in bringing up the standard gdm menu list. Selected gg-main and it goes into the loop. Ctrl-Alt-F1 to console & - log in as gg, - 'sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf', - change from 'laptop' to 'gg', - 'sudo stop gdm' and then 'sudo start gdm' - back into user 'gg' desktop.
