Several issues as specked, in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Karmic/LoginExperience#Design
,have been addressed. Marking /this/ bug as fixed.
However one issue that still remains is what Mat mentions in comment #7 ,
I'm confused about the status of this bug, It doesn't seem like the
upstream Fix Released status resolved this issue. Lucid Lynx still has
the behavior described in the OP, shown in attachment login-screens.png
for reference:
* image 1 - single user login screen
* image 2 - multiple user login
Why not just have a small textual prompt to indicate to a user what to
do. For example: Please Click/Select Your Username It could be
incorporated into the login logo as subtext, or simply replace the
hostname (since the hostname isn't crucial information to login) with
the text.

How about having an auto-complete box for username which gives you top 10 list
of users matching the currently typed word? And below it there will be a simple
password text box.
This is scalable to large number of users as well.

upstream closed it with that comment Going to close this as it has a
few issues in it and some have been fixed.
Do you consider the bug fixed with current lucid-updates or maverick
versions

How about simply unselecting all of the usernames, so the user knows
they have to click on the one they want. Or possibly using the old
style with the last logged-in user as the pre-filled entry, and a
dropdown that allows the user to find their name (if it's not the pre-
filled one)?
Have a
i just turn it off:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type Boolean --set
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list True
since it's not usable having ldap/nis users (3000+)...

If there is only one registered user on the machine, Ubuntu should
display the focused password field immediately. This will resolve the
issue for the majority of affected users.

I second comment #5. I'd much prefer that behavior, and at least having
the option would be good.
(Yes, you can hack it by going to gconf-editor as the right user and
setting /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list to true, but even
that doesn't work quite as expected anymore: You have to
Please bring back the normal login where the user must type in their
user name. Please! Give us an option?

I vote for this bug, and think that it should be considered important
-- after all, the login screen is the very first impression, and the
current login screen (9.10 RC) is clumsy.

There is one issue that needs to be addressed. Some users will expect to
be able to press Enter as soon as the login screen appears, in order to
quickly access the password entry screen.
The proposed solution has been added to a wiki:
using enter do select the default user and ask for password currently
