This already has to be working. It does for me.

Look at your "/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf" and check if these values are set:

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable = true	
AutomaticLogin = your_username

Give gnome-shell a time... newer versions will be more customizable and 
3.2 is now in experimental. Let's hope Wheezy is released with "gnome-
