Bug#759360: gdm3: Cannot hide a user on gdm3

[أحمد المحمودي]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-2.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


  Hello, I tried the following methods to hide a specific user from appearing GDM3 user list:
1) adding Exclude=user in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf
2) adding Include=<other users> in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf
3) setting UID_MIN to a value greater than the uid of the user that I want to hide

none of those worked, although the last method did work for me when I 
was using GNOME 3.10 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Note: I asked on #gdm IRC channel at GIMPNet, and Josselin Mouette 
suggested that it might be caused by a bug in accountsservice.
