as root, edit /etc/gdm/gdm-schemas
and make your changes in this section:

<schema>
       <key>daemon/TimedLoginEnable</key>
       <signature>b</signature>
       <default>true</default>         <====change to true
     </schema>
     <schema>
       <key>daemon/TimedLogin</key>
       <signature>s</signature>
       <default>yourusername</default> <====your user name
     </schema>
     <schema>
       <key>daemon/TimedLoginDelay</key>
       <signature>i</signature>
       <default>10</default>      <===how long you want to wait (seconds)
     </schema>

There is a web page somewhere with more information.  try googling gdmsetup
