Bug Description
I installed the Edubuntu 8.04.1 add-on to Ubuntu last night and now my Human List Login User list is empty and I can't seem to add back the users that I have set up for the system to this login list. I like this login window so I want to have the user names show up again.
Thank you,
James

[debug]

# working properly.

# This will enable debug messages for accessibilty gesture listeners into the

# gesture listeners may not be working, but is too verbose for general debug.
Gestures=false
# Attached DISPLAY Configuration
#
[servers]
# This section defines which attached DISPLAYS should be started by GDM by
# default. You can add as many DISPLAYS as desired and they will always be
# started. The key for each entry must be a unique number that cooresponds to
# the DISPLAY number to start the X server. For a typical single-display
# machine, there will only be one entry "0" for DISPLAY ":0". The first word
# in the value corresponds to an X server definition in the "X Server
# Definitions" section of the configuration file. For example, the entry:
#
# 0=Standard
#
# Means that DISPLAY ":0" will start an X server as defined in the
# [server-Standard] section.
#
# The optional device argument is used to specify the device that is associated
# with the DISPLAY. When using Virtual Terminals (VT), this value is ignored
# and GDM will use the correct device name associated with the VT. If not
# using VT, then GDM will use the value specified by this optional argument.
# If the device argument is not defined, then GDM will use the default setting
# for attached displays defined in the UtmpLineAttached configuration option.
# For the main display (typically DISPLAY ":0"), "/dev/console" is a reasonable
# value. For other displays it is probably best to not include this argument
# unless you know the specific device associated with the DISPLAY. The device
# value can contain "%d" which is translated to the DISPLAY value or %h which
# is translated to the hostname.
#
0=Standard device=/dev/console
# Example of how to set up DISPLAY :1 to also use Standard.
#1=Standard
# If you wish to run the XDMCP chooser on the local display use the following
# line
#0=Chooser

# Indicates that the X server should be started at a different process
# priority. Values can be any integer value accepted by the setpriority C

# highly interactive applications, -5 yields good responsiveness. The default
# value is 0 and the setpriority function is not called if the value is 0.

# To use this server type you should add -query host or -indirect host to the

# Add -terminate to make things behave more nicely
command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 -terminate
# Make this not appear in the flexible servers (we need extra params anyway,
# and terminate would be bad for xdmcp choosing). You can make a terminal
# server flexible, but not with an indirect query. If you need flexible
# indirect query server, then you must get rid of the -terminate and the only
# way to kill the flexible server will then be by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

# will get this same server but run with "-terminate -query hostname".

[customcommand]
# This section allows you specify up to 10 custom commands. Each of the
# commands can be defined by the seven parameters listed below. In each of the
# descriptions of the parameters N can take on any values between 0 and 9,
# i.e. CustomCommand0=

# /sbin/bootwindo
# /sbin/runupdate
#
#CustomCommandN=
# Custom command dialog message that will appear on all warning dialogs.
# This will vary depending on what you want to do. Examples:

#CustomCommandT
# Custom command label that will appear as stock label on buttons/menu items.
# This option can't contain any semicolon characters (i.e. ";").

# Custom command tooltip. Examples
# Restarts the computer into Windoze
# Updates the computer software to the most recent version(s)
#CustomCommandT
# Custom command persistence option. Setting it to true will allow this
# command to appear outside the login manager, e.g. on the desktop through
# Log Out/Shut Down dialogs. The default value is false.
#CustomCommandI
# Custom command gdm/system restart option. Setting it to true will not
# restart gdm after command execution. The default commands (reboot, shut
# down) all reboot the system by default which is why the default setting
# is true.
# In addition when corresponding CustomCommandIs
# true, setting CustomCommandNo

# GDM Configuration Customization file.
#
# This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the
# GDM configuration. If you run gdmsetup, it will automatically edit this
# file for you and will cause the daemon and any running GDM GUI programs to
# automatically update with the new configuration. Not all configuration
# options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
# necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
#
# Older versions of GDM used the "gdm.conf" file for configuration. If your
# system has an old gdm.conf file on the system, it will be used instead of
# this file - so changes made to this file will not take effect. Consider
# migrating your configuration to this file and removing the gdm.conf file.
#
# To hand-edit this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in
# the appropriate section in the template below. Refer to the comments in the
# /usr/share/
# refer to the reference documentation.
#
# If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you should run the following
# command to get the GDM daemon to notice the change. Any running GDM GUI
# programs will also be notified to update with the new configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command=
#
# e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and
# re-read the new configuration settings. You can also restart GDM by sending
# a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon. HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes
# any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM.
