Ok.  That screen is produced by a program called the "Gnome Display 
Manager".  There is a reference manual located at 
http://www.ibiblio.org/oswg/oswg-nightly/oswg/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/gdm-reference/gdm-reference/

You might also want to find and post the contents of your gdm.conf 
file.  I'm not sure where it is located exactly -- I don't use GDM -- 
but it's probably in the /etc directory somewhere.
