Subject: [PATCH] fix: configure GDM auto-login for workshop user

- Use GDM-specific autoLogin instead of generic displayManager autoLogin
- Auto-login as workshop user instead of root to properly start GNOME session
- Remove conflicting generic autoLogin from flake.nix
- Keep gnome-terminal sessionCommands for workshop terminal
