I just found a problem with the script that I was using to set this, if 
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable was actually unset 
instead of set to false, my script failed to set it to true.  So it does 
actually still work in gdm 3.0.4, sorry about that.

Now I am having a problem because the greeter window size seems to be 
much smaller than it was in previous versions.  The banner message I am 
inserting is somewhat long, and now it completely fills up the entire 
greeter window (the banner is even truncated) leaving no room for the 
login name field or user list.  Is there a way to make it larger? 
Shouldn't it at least show the user list or username entry, even if it 
has to truncate the banner, although I think it would be better to make 
the window large enough to contain both the banner text and login entry 
or user list.
