edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf

however AutomaticLogin did not work properly as released, your system 
will need to be 'yum updated' for it to work properly.

Add the section in the file :

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=your_username

If you can't yum update the system there is a workaround via a timed login :

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=your_username
TimedLoginDelay=0
