I'm wondering if this means I'll have to jump through hoops again to not have everybody know what usernames are available on my computer.

  Now would be a great time to file that feature request. LightDM folks have about 6 months to get it fixed (that is, if it's broken)

    Does that mean it doesn't support hiding usernames yet? I'm still trying to figure that out.

      Did you try setting load-users=false under [UserManager] in /etc/lightdm.conf?

        I didn't install anything yet. I just googled for it to find out if it will be possible, since that was a rather large hassle during the last switch, and just recently got fixed and is now available as a checkbox option in the preferences. I found lots of articles and developer resources, but haven't found the documentation for it on the web yet. I assume that will change as exposure increases.

          You can check. I installed lightdm in a couple minutes. Auto-login didn't work (it was on a shared desktop), there was some terminal keyboard weirdness and I reverted the change. Running "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" allowed me to easily revert back to gdm.
