Fedora 13 - single pixel for GUI login screen so unable to login to Gnome/Xfce

[Edmon Begoli]

I see that this has been reported as a bug.

How do I enable user login list?

I get following error when I try to execute:

Failed to access configuration source(s): Failed to contact
configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable
TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a
system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information.
(Details -  1: Not running within active session)


when I try to execute:

sudo /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --set --type bool --config-source
xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list false

Is there an easy way to change this "disable_user_list" setting from
the command line?
