You can use "sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list --set --type=boolean true" because the "gdm" user controls the login screen but the above works too because it makes that setting default for all users. You can also make it mandatory with "gconftool-2 --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list --set --type=boolean true".
Thanks for the full syntax; even though this is one of the first things I do on all new installs (whether CentOS, Fedora, or even Ubuntu; anything using gdm), I always seem to have to look it up.... and Akemi's page is one of my bookmarks for that reason....
Since my normal use machine runs KDE, and I use KDM on it, it's not something that I have to deal with on my own box....
