Add or edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and add this section:

Then restart gdm...

This doesn't seem to work in F10. I remember seeing other posts on it, and the consensus was th at a lot of the configurability has been disabled, including the ability to control the font size (which on my eeepc is HUGE on the small screen).
Allegedly, replacing it with the one from F9 solves the proglem, though I haven't tried that.
Well, I'm using Fedora 9, and nothing that I've tried stops that damn user list appearing on GDM. Neither does anything stop the inclusion of names I want excluded. I've even tried changing the background image, and it ignores that instruction, too.
I've got no kind words for the thing. It's not configurable. It's slow to fire up, *much* slower than the GDM logon screen on Fedora 7. Every log on requires cursoring through the list, or typing the name, since it NEVER starts with reselecting the same name that logged in previously, nor does the list appear to be in any detectable sorting order (user ID, user name, real name, nothing).
I tried using XDM, instead, but it doesn't start something that Gnome needs to run. I don't want *anything* to do with KDE on my system, so KDM's not getting a look in.
Just a straight type in username and password box, as it used to be, would suit me.
This should work fine:
$ su - # enter root password at prompt $ GCONFSYS=$(gconftool-2 --get-default-source) $ gconftool-2 --config-source=$GCONFSYS --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list \ --type bool true
It worked for me too on f10.
Have you any other tips like this to change the language: I would like the chooser in French, or the image which is quite nice when you use one screen but become ugly when spread on two screens...
I am wondering why there is not a more friendly way to configure all this..
Thanks.
