I installed gconf-editor and ran the program.     There was no
  disable_user_list box

  /etc/gdm/custom.conf  initially contained

	[xdmcp]
	[chooser]
	[security]
	[debug]



  gconftool-2 --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf.xml.defaults -- 
direct --type bool --set /apps/adm/simplgreeter/disable_user_list true

executed.

However after a reboot,  I still have the first two accounts showing  
up with the "Other" login on the login screen.   /etc/gdm/custom.conf  
has no changes.  When I use gconf-editor, I still see the same entries  
as before I issued the gconftool-2 command.
