Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
there is one difference .. the command was executed under root permissions but gconf_editor was executed under normal user's perms.

Ah, you can't set it as a normal user. You either have to set it in one of the system gconf databases or in gdm's gconf database. Doing it as a normal user makes it touch a gconf database that will never get looked at.
The easiest way to test this is:
1) run gconf-editor
2) navigate to the key
3) check the checkbox
4) right click on the item
5) choose "Set as Default"
6) enter the root password

*** Bug 610233 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
spin 2 of beta 2 (gdm-2.30.4-5.el6) fixes the problem so that gdm no longer displays a thin vertical line when /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list is set to true. It appears to behave normally now.
When will the fixed version gdm-2.30.4-2 become available for Fedora?

solution does not work for you.
