That schema file shouldn't be in /etc but is for historical reasons.
It's not actually a config file, but a distribution "factory defaults"
file.

Those defaults have already been loaded into your machine, so the file
is only around so that package upgrades work properly.

See Dan's message from a recent thread here:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gdm-list/2009-May/msg00031.html

for instructions on how to disable the user list.
