If you are still having trouble, here are the settings to check in
kdmrc/tdmrc. In the [X-*-Greeter] section, make sure the following are set as
needed:

[X-*-Greeter]
HiddenUsers=root,spamd
ShowUsers=NotHidden
SortUsers=true
UserList=true

The you can set a default user (if you want your always selected first, or the
previous user, in that order) in the [X-:*-Greeter] section, e.g.

[X-:*-Greeter]
DefaultUser=david
FocusPasswd=true
LoginMode=DefaultLocal
PreselectUser=Previous

_Note:_ if you use the tdm kcontrol interface to change the settings, all
comments (and they are very very good) will be stripped from the config file,
so you may want to make a copy before using the control panel interface to
make changes.
