So, I tried that this evening and it didn't work. So, I went through your instructions. My gdm.conf-custom file was already changed as you describe. So I assume step 2 is done as well. 

I'm not an expert, but if you went through the graphical method and the file was modified, that's probably a safe assumption.  However, running gdmflexiserver won't hurt even if the changes are already recognized.

Sorry about that.  That's why it's good to have people double-check these things.

> I also have a question about adding gdm to the audio permissions. Do you separate it from the rest of the list with a , or a :

There was already a comma (,) seperated list for the audio permissions in /etc/group, so I appended comma gdm (,gdm) to the end of the list.

A special note should probably be added to point that out.  Sorry about that.  I wasn't thinking; reading ",gdm" with a screen-reader under most verbosity settings wouldn't make the comma noticeable enough.

Good luck, and I hope these clearifications help out:-)
