Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-6squeeze2
Severity: normal
The gdm3 2.30.5-6squeeze2 package ignores the following line in
/etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults ...
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
unless this option was previously used with the earlier 2.30.5-6squeeze1
package.
A workaround is to stop gdm3, use the solution from "aptitude purge gdm3" to
downgrade the package to 2.30.5-6squeeze1 and then start gdm3 and now the
user_list is not displayed.
You can then use aptitude to upgrade back to 2.30.5-6squeeze2 and then
disable_user_list works correctly once again.
