gdm disable_user_list does not display login banner

[Timothy Legge]

Binary package hint: gdm

When you add a login banner to gdm via:

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text_nochooser --type string "Authorized users only"
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text --type string "Authorized users only"
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enabled --type bool 'true'

The banner displays fine. However, if you also disable the user list the banner is no longer displayed:

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list --type bool 'true'

Occurs in 9.10 Desktop and Netbook remix.

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

I expected the banner to display even if the user list does not display. This is a corporate setting and both settings are required

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Thanks. I assumed as much but wanted to log it with ubuntu first. I
will log it upstream.
