The Fedora custom theme doesn't have support for user lists, so that
option has no effect.  Pick a theme that does (the "Oxygen" theme
installed by default does, for instance) and it should work.  You
could also use the old-school greeter dialog instead, which also
supports user lists.

Looks like kdm includes its own system settings module, but may not
have a dependency on the KDE system settings application.  Make sure
"kdebase-runtime" is installed and then just run "kcmshell4 kdm".
