This is intentional? (in WS & GW)

No.
By comparison, Whonix VirtualBox does not do this.
How to disable this by clicking/changing some settings?
Once that is figured out, it might be possible to translate this setting into settings file that gets installed by default.
There is problem in whonix-kvm build process for the latest image which installed tons of extra gnome packages, this happened after shifting to gdm.
I dunno who done the build but latest whonix-kvm image is bad.
This is a KVM specific issue.
Not happening inside VirtualBox.

Unspecified? You mean Whonix / Kicksecure 16.0.3.7 KVM - Point Release? That is latest for KVM at time of writing.
Whonix / Kicksecure 16.0.3.7 KVM - Point Release versus Whonix 16.0.3.7 - for VirtualBox - Point Release! should be the same, I doubt there are big differences?
Whonix 16.0.5.0 - for VirtualBox - Point Release! has no Whonix KVM equivalent (yet?).
Unfortunately this was required due to:
- no login prompt / getty not started on tty1 anymore in Whonix 16 (Debian bullseye based)
- display manager - lightdm, gdm3, sddm or no display manager (startx)
This implies there is an issue while building Whonix KVM but not while building Whonix VirtualBox?
If so, what are the extra packages in Whonix KVM that are not installed in Whonix VirtualBox?

Something is not correct in the kvm one.
Yes

Looks same as the screenshot as found on Debian -- Details of package gdm3 in bullseye
So it’s a GNOME Display Manger gdm3 auto logout issue that is only happening in Whonix KVM.
