Bernhard, since it's working in general now, please rather open a new bug about this, to avoid mailing all the subscribers from duplicate bugs, and to track the various fixes properly.

It might be the case that there are still old gconf settings around from the time when it was broken. If you do

  sudo rm /var/lib/gdm/.gconf/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/%gconf.xml

and restart gdm (or just reboot), do you still have the problem? If so, please open a new bug. If not, then that was the necessary cleanup. :-)
