Sorry, my bad.  Nevertheless I assume it may well be possible, since
there other suggestions about how to do it, such has here:

However, if the method given on help.gnome.org does not work, that does
not engender confidence and having had some trouble with 'gconf-editor'
several years ago, I would only want to fiddle GDM via 'dconf-editor' on
a test system for fear of locking myself out.
