Bug#692961: gdm3: TimedLogin fails

[Z]

Package: gdm3
Followup-For: Bug #692961

Dear Maintainer,

I had a slightly different problem with timed login, it did work, but in a way
that made it impossible to not log into that account eventually. The account I
wanted to have log into, A, I set with a timed delay of 2 seconds. This worked
perfectly for logging into it, but not for logging into any of the other ones.
Instead of just waiting two seconds then logging in, if I used the down arrow
to select/highlight user B, whilst doing that it would then go straight back to
highlighting A. Worse still, if I went to user B really fast, and started
typing my password in, it would then start not being focused on the password
box, so I would need to reclick that after every letter. Then, about 4 or so
seconds in, it would then flicker and change to asking me to type in the
password from user A. In the end I had to change it to a longer time period,
which now works, because I was unable to log into user B. Ideally, it would
have the timed login, but if you were in the process of trying to log into
another user, it would behave as normal and not be trying to log in or
anything.
