Hi,
I think GDM behaves correctly, the semantics of GECOS is usually "the
real name", so for me, GDM shows "Jakub Hrozek".
If you override GECOS to something non-existant, SSSD should fall back
to the value of 'cn' which is usually the username. Can you try setting:
ldap_user_gecos = nosuchattr # yes, literally
and either cleaning the cache or using sss_cache -U ?
btw the gecos output should also show when you run 'getent passwd
$user'.
