Bug#1107934: gdm3: disable-user-list=true stopped working after upgrade from bookworm to trixie

[Robert Jaeschke]

Package: gdm3
Version: 48.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: robert-j at gmx.de

Dear Maintainer,

in bookworm I had successfully disabled the user list in the gdm login screen
by following those instructions: https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-
guide/stable/login-userlist-disable.html.en

After upgrading to trixie this no longer works.
