Yes, several times. I have also successively: (1) restored the contents of /var/lib/AccountsService/users from my last F29 backup; (2) moved the newly created userid's file completely out of that directory; and (3) moved my normal userid's /etc/passwd entry to the end of the file (i.e., after the new userid's entry), retaining UID and GID of both. Each step with a reboot.
You can delete all the files out of the users directory, they will get created next login.
Nothing's changed. Does gdm have a config somewhere that controls this? Nothing I can see in /etc/gdm or /var/lib/gdm.
Not that I know of.
What tells the system to run 'gnome-initial-setup'? (As noted, deleting the (new) userid it creates causes it to run again as soon as you log off, intercepting the gdm login screen and forcing creation of a user.)
If Gnome thinks there is no existing user, it will run that. So it's very strange that the old user appears to be invisible for some reason.
