Yes it really is in gdm_config_entry_free(). I'm attaching three
files:
script.out a "script" capture of the gdb session
/etc/gdm.conf
/usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf
The latter two from the results of:
gdmflexiserver --command=GET_CONFIG_FILE
gdmflexiserver --command=GET_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE
from the unpatched version.

#
# This file should not be updated by hand. Since GDM 2.13.0.4, configuration
# choices in the GDM System Configuration file (/etc/gdm/gdm.conf) will
# override the default values specified in this file.
#
# If you were using an older version of GDM, your system may have the the older
# gdm.conf configuration file on the system. If so, then this file is used
# instead of the GDM Custom Configuration file for backwards support. If you
# make changes to the GDM Custom Configuration file and they seem to not be
# taking effect, this is likely the problem. Consider migrating your
# configuration to the new configuration file and removing the gdm.conf file.
#
# You can use the gdmsetup program to graphically edit the gdm.conf-custom
# file. Note that gdmsetup does not support every option in this file, just
# the most common ones that users want to change. If you feel that gdmsetup
# should support additional configuration options, please file a bug report at
# http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.
#
# If you hand-edit the GDM configuration, you should run the following command
# to get the GDM daemon to recognize the change. Any running GDM GUI programs
# will also be notified to update with the new configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
#
# e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run invoke-rc.d gdm reload or invoke-rc.d gdm restart
# to cause GDM to restart and re-read the new configuration settings.
# You can also restart GDM by sending a HUP or USR1 signal to the
# daemon. HUP behaves like restart and causes any user session
# started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# reload and will wait until all users log out before
# restarting GDM.

# In addition when corresponding CustomCommandIsPersistentN option is set to

# GDM Custom Configuration file.
#
# This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the
# GDM configuration. If you run gdmsetup, it will automatically edit this
# file for you and will cause the daemon and any running GDM GUI programs to
# automatically update with the new configuration. Not all configuration
# options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
# necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
#
# This file overrides the default configuration settings. These settings
# are stored in the GDM System Defaults configuration file, which is found
# at the following location.
#
# /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf.
#
# This file contains comments about the meaning of each configuration option,
# so is also a useful reference. Also refer to the documentation links at
# the end of this comment for further information. In short, to hand-edit
# this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in the
# appropriate section in the template below this comment section.
#
# For example, if you want to specify a different value for the Enable key
# in the "[debug]" section of your GDM System Defaults configuration file,
# then add "Enable=true" in the "[debug]" section of this file. If the
# key already exists in this file, then simply modify it.
#
# Older versions of GDM used the "gdm.conf" file for configuration. If your
# system has an old gdm.conf file on the system, it will be used instead of
# this file - so changes made to this file will not take effect. Consider
# migrating your configuration to this file and removing the gdm.conf file.
#
# If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you can run the following
# command and the GDM daemon will immediately reflect the change. Any
# running GDM GUI programs will also be notified to update with the new
# configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
#
# e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and
# re-read the new configuration settings. You can also restart GDM by sending
# a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon. HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes
# any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM.
