Did you read the GDM documentation for the version of GDM you are using?

http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.20/configuration.html.en#configfile

Also, the /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf configuration file contains
comments which explain each configuration option.  It says:

# Xinerama screen we use to display the greeter on.  Not for true
# multihead, currently only works for Xinerama.
#XineramaScreen=0
