It does still work (even on a completely up-to-date Karmic install).

Of course. And that is exactly what the command, described in NoOp's
post I referred to above, does.

Aha! Yes.

That was a spectacular failure at reading on my part, sorry about that.
There was an earlier fix which didn't work, and I was sure I got that
from an email of almost exactly that format.

Sorry about that, will read more thoroughly in future.

It actually does still work, although myself I had to re-apply it (on
both of my ubuntu systems) after a recent gdm update.

That worked!

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true

Thanks.

But I don't understand why they changed a perfectly good log-in screen
*and* forced people to use clunky methods like this to restore the old
defaults (rather than a nice /etc/*.conf file).

I tried that too, and got some strange error messages and an empty
(except for "/") gconf-editor. But the solution elsewhere in this
thread worked.

Thanks.

As did I. Seems that the “gdm� 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1 reset or removed it.
After re-applying all is well again :-)
