Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-4
Severity: normal
gdmsetup doesn't offer every possible gconf-option, which gdm3 offers.
So I tried to use gconf-editor to suppress the user-listing in the
gdm-greeter.
Didn't work. Of course not, gdm of course doesn't read the gconf from
my user. So I sux'ed and gconf'ed. Still didn't work.
Then I realized, that gdm runs as the user Debian-gdm. sux'ing to
Debian-gdm and /then/ running gconf-editor helped. But that's too
complicated. And not at all documented.
