I too am getting the problem what I can get an autologin to happen first
time, but not subsequent times.

I previously had a custom.conf setup in 9.04 and had updated
custome.conf.9.10 in an attempt to fix.

# cat custom.conf.9.04
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=mythtv
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=mythtv
TimedLoginDelay=10
[security]
[xdmcp]
[debug]
[gui]
[greeter]
Use24Clock=yes
[chooser]
[servers]
0=MythTV
[server-MythTV]
name=MythTV Server
command=/etc/X11/X -br -audit 0 -terminate -layout DTV-Wide
#
#
# cat custom.conf.9.10
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=mythtv
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=mythtv
TimedLoginDelay=10
[security]
[xdmcp]
[debug]
# 

empty lines between sections removed for brevity.

I noticed that the upgrade hacked my xorg.conf, however haven't chased
it too much yet.

I have added an exit for 9.10 to the existing .gnomerc, in attempt to
get it to at least be able to login manually

# cat ~mythtv/.gnomerc
mythfrontend
sleep 5
exit
#

however after I added some debugging, mythfrontend seems to be
complaining on subsequent starts that pulse audio is running, and aborts
startup.

If I shutdown gdm and restart gdm, then mythtv attempts to restart but
fails because of pulse, and I get the login box again.

If I shutdown gdm, kill pulse, and restart gdm, then I get initial
autologin of mythtv again.
