I tried it as well with the same negative result - it does not work.
Steps I did:
1. sudo yum install gconf-editor
2. gconf-editor
- opened /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/
- selected disable_user_list and disable_restart_buttons
3. after reboot - list of users is still displayed, "restart" buttons are still in gdm's offer
4. I logged in and doublechecked the settings- disable_user and disable_restart_buttons are still selected, so it is a bug and my subject is still valid
However I'm not going to open a ticket as I'm going to use KDM as suggested in previous post.
It is also a bit strange to me GDM settings can(?) be altered by standard user - I think it should be root's priviledge...
I also don't like registry-like settings where you are (almost) unable to make a change manually...
Thank you for all replies.

and I got no change at all in behavior after a reboot,... it still
displays the list of users.
