Actually yeah, I see this now. I was reading the script wrong :s

Something somewhere was messing up in my test system however that caused
the real dm to exit unsuccessfully, which caused a restart of the whole
dm service, which in turn caused autologin to kick in again.

I'd still suggest that the autologin thing should be once per boot, not
once per dm service restart.
