The gdm screen in lucid does not show the original user
I did a clean installation of Ubuntu Lucid; at first I had only the username that I entered during the installation. I chose the option to not log in automatically during the install. After the install I noticed that unlike in Karmic, there was no face browser - I had to click a button (which probably said something like 'login') and then I was asked for my username and password.
Later on I added a user account for my girlfriend so that she can log in to play games on my computer. Now when I boot the computer I get a gdm with a face browser, but the list includes only her. If I want to log in using my own account I now have to click 'other' and then type in my user name and password as before.
So basically, I'm wondering how to get my original user account to show up on the login screen. Is it hidden because I have admin privledges? This wasn't the case in Karmic. I could try installing the gdm2 setup program but I'd like to know how to do it by hand.
