autologin for debian

 i've got a debian system, which i would like to autologin on boot. i've 
 added the following lines to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf under daemon

 AutomaticLoginEnable=true
 AutomaticLogin=root

 but i still get the gdm greet screen at boot. any suggestions?

 i can't do this through the GUI, as i can't logon - the system is a 
 touch screen phone, and there's no keyboard available at the logon 
 screen

 also: yes, i know root login is bad, autologin of root terrible. there 
 are various reasons why this is necessary
