Hi.

How does one customize gdm in Fedora 9?

In Fedora 8, one could override /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf via
/etc/gdm/custom.conf. Since we didn't want the login window to
provide a list of user names, we had put
[greeter]
IncludeAll=false
into /etc/gdm/custom.conf, which suppressed said list.

After installing Fedora 9, we found that a list of user names appeared
in the login window. It appears that said list consists of users who
had recently logged in.

How can we get rid of this list?

Uninstall gdm and then re-install gdm-2.20.1-5.fc8.rpm. Seems to work
okay except that I have to shut down using Alt-Ctrl-Del. I wish I could
do the same for KDE-4.0. Add gdm to the exclude line of your yum.conf or
it'll be downgraded [sic] automatically.
