Well, that is only one half of the story.  gdm actually moved from #1 to
#2 (IIRC with the gnome2->gnome3 switch), making people wonder why the
desktop selection disappeared ...

Took me a while to figure this (and other user-specific settings like
language) just shows up after picking the user, especially as this is
just a small change at the bottom of the screen while you are focusing
to the center where you just typed the password and where gdm now asks
for the password.
