This has been discussed on this list in the past, and is available in
the archives.  The gist of it is you need to configure a "gdm-autologin"
PAM definition similar to:

auth       required     pam_nologin.so
auth       required     pam_permit.so
account    required     pam_unix.so
session    required     pam_permit.so
