Comment:

> Thanks for your bug. Could you describe what you do exactly (A), what happens (B) and what you would expect (C)? The automatic login happens on startup only, if you switch user that's probably not to run the same user again (D)
 
(A) I click log-out -> switch user. I set-up a timed login to log in my default user after 5 seconds. 
(B) This results in a new GDM-login window and tries to autologin (after 5 seconds), which fails and then tries again (and again, ...)
(C) I would expect that the timed login would log me in, or that it is not performed on a second GDM. The latter might be the more logical one. Alternatively, a check could be performed whether the user for which the timed-login is configured is already logged in. 
(D) Your last remark might be correct for an automatic login, it is not for a timed login. At least the last time I tried.
