Hi,
The issue arised, becase we no longer filter users less than UID_MIN in /etc/login.defs

See
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44408
for more backstory. We made that change because users were disappearing from their user lists
on upgrades, since the default for UID_MIN changed in Fedora. We rationalized the change as legitimate, and the
previous behavior as wrong because UID_MIN is documented only for user creation, not for user filtering.
I think maybe the solution is to filter out disabled users from the user list. This is a little complicated, because
we can't query the system for disabled users, afaik. We can only do heuristics like getspnam() and look at sp_pwdp, but I don't think it will cover every case.
Anyway worth thinking about more.
why not offer to 'root' user a list of users that can be displayed or not on gdm? why not filtering out by defaul the famous non-human users, like mysql and postgresql?
