I have `greeter-hide-users=true` in my `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf` file.  The KDE greeter displays all of the accounts on the system despite that setting.  I have about 3000 accounts on the system, so that isn't the most usable situation.

For comparison, take a look at the GTK greeter.  When `greeter-hide-users` is set to `false` (and `greeter-show-manual-login` is also set to `false`; the default settings), it has a drop-down list containing all of the users in the system.  When `greeter-hide-users` is set to `true` (and `greeter-show-manual-login` is also `true`), the GTK greeter has a text field instead of the drop-down.  The KDE greeter should honor those settings in the same way.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The greeter should have a text entry box into which the username is typed.

We no longer use lightDM, having moved to SDDM several years ago. As such, this bug report is no longer applicable. Bugs reports for the new SDDM-based login screen should be filed to one of two places:

1. Visual/UI bugs with the login screen UI itself, or feature requests: plasmashell | Theme - Breeze
2. Bugs with the login/user switching process: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues
