Fedora 11 GDM - unwanted list of all local users and impossible to customize?

[jaivuk]

Hi,

I tried it as well with the same negative result - it does not work.

Steps I did:

1. sudo yum install gconf-editor
2. gconf-editor
    - opened /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/
    - selected disable_user_list and disable_restart_buttons
3. after reboot - list of users is still displayed, "restart" buttons are
still in gdm's offer
4. I logged in and doublechecked the settings- disable_user and
disable_restart_buttons are still selected, so it is a bug and my subject is
still valid

However I'm not going to open a ticket as I'm going to use KDM as suggested
in previous post.
It is also a bit strange to me GDM settings can(?) be altered by standard
user - I think it should be root's priviledge...
I also don't like registry-like settings where you are (almost) unable to
make a change manually...

Thank you for all replies.
