That's interesting. I thought for a moment that I had that set, but I've 
checked and I don't.

[sam at sam ~]$ gconftool-2 \ 
--config-source=xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
--get /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list
false

[sam at sam ~]$ gconftool-2 \
--config-source=xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system \
--get /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list
No value set for `/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list'

[sam at sam ~]$ gconftool-2 \
--config-source=xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
--get /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list
No value set for `/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list'

... so now I'm mystified why it "works for me (tm)"!
