Or just install package KDM instead of GDM.  If you only install it
you will be asked which you'd like to use during the installation.

If it fails to ask for the configuration during installation you can:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
and reconfigure from there.

KDM offers me only a box for username and a box for password, no list of
usernames.
Am I correct in thinking that is what the OP wished for?

I have also installed XDM and WDM but have yet to test them.
