This should work fine: $ su - # enter root password at prompt $ GCONFSYS=$(gconftool-2 --get-default-source) $ gconftool-2 --config-source=$GCONFSYS --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list \ --type bool true Just tried it on my F10 box and it works like a charm. You can't get rid of the "Other..." selection AFAICT, but all the other faces disappear as expected. If you want the faces back, use "false." The gconf-editor doesn't yet support editing alternate configuration choices like this yet, but perhaps a knowledgeable person on this list could help with that. -- Paul W.
