Description PatRiehecky 2013-09-18 19:12:06 UTC 
If I enable a gdm banner and disable user listing, users never actually see the banner message.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. su -
2.cat > /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-mysettings <<EOF
[org/gnome/login-screen]
banner-message-enable=true
banner-message-text='WARNING!!! You have accessed a private network.\nUNAUTHORIZED ACCESS IS PROHIBITED BY LAW\nViolators may be prosecuted to the full extend of the law.\nYour access to this network may be monitored and recorded for quality\nassurance, security, performance, and maintenance purposes.'
disable-user-list=true
EOF

3.rm /etc/dconf/db/gdm && dconf update
4. logout
5. did you see the banner message text?
6. remove 'disable-user-list=true' and rebuild the dconf database
7. log out
8. you should now actually see the banner message.

all the ui for the login screen lives in gnome-shell now, so the bug should probably go there
