    I don't know if you can do that with the new Karmic GDM. You can hide all of your user accounts by default so that you need to type in either user name, however. Just enter this one command into a terminal:
    Code:
    sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true

    Set uid of the user (you want to hide )to any number which is less than 1000
