You may need to set "IncludeAll" in your gdm configuration to true.  Run
gdmsetup and go to the User tab and check the "Include All" user 
checkbox if you want all users on the system to be in the face dialog.
Or you can leave "IncludeAll" false and put specific users you want to
see in the Face Browser in the "Include" list.

Does this make it work better?

Also make sure that none of the users that you want in the FaceBrowser
have a uid value less than MinimalUID defined in the GDM configuration.

You should not have removed anything from the theme.  There are some
problems with certain face browser enabled themes not working if they
do not have "pam-message" in the theme.  If you are having the problem
with happygnome-list, then this shouldn't be a problem since it 
definately should have this.  Now that you've removed it from the theme,
you might have to put it back for it to really work.
