Just for reference, this worked great, but I did have to do some tweaks
to the gdm pam.d file too to make things work fully.... not quite sure
what I had to do, but I was inspired by the fedora one. I think it
related to where pam_loginuid.so was in the order - I think moving it
before the system-auth include did the trick.

If possible this should probably be changed upstream.
