I've submitted bug #218133 about this -- looks like the "RHEL5" theme is
what's broken, not gdm.

I'm trying to configure a RHEL5 workstation, and get the system menu
(reboot/shutdown/etc) to not appear on the login screen.
Traditionally, this was done by editing /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and
setting SystemMenu=false under the [greeter] section.
It appears that RHEL5 (and with it the new versions of gnome and gdm)
now have an /etc/gdm/custom.conf that you override system defaults in.
Fine. So I added SystemMenu=false to the [greeter] section, but it's
being ignored.
When I strace the gdm-binary process and restart GDM, I see it do two
odd things:
First, it tries to stat /etc/gdm/custom.conf:0 (not
/etc/gdm/custom.conf) and fails. So I renamed custom.conf to
custom.conf:0. Then the stat was successful, but still no effect.
Looking deeper into the new strace (with custom.conf:0), I find where
something is communicating with the process and, indeed, sending it the
correct value:
17488 read(8, "GET_CONFIG greeter/SystemMenu :0"..., 4095) = 33
17488 sendto(8, "OK false\n", 8, MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 8
And yet...no effect.
So what's the deal here? Has Red Hat done something to make gdm ignore
the SystemMenu directive? It's listed in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf
as a valid option...
