  I cannot speak to anything too new - but in the days of yore - gdm
user list could be turned off via: (ignore line wraps obvioosly).
I long ago switched to kdm where all things are configurable and 'just
work' ... perhaps you tried this and need the new dconf way?

1) remove user list:

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