FWIW, the gdm user list applet seems to be having a few problems in
8.0-CURRENT too.

It is auto-enabled when procfs(5) is mounted at `/proc' but it only
shows `other' a few dozen times on my laptop, and clicking on them
sometimes crashes gdm.  I'm still trying to find out why, but you may
find it easier to get help by posting to the freebsd-gnome list.
