I had this bug twice a few days ago, its appearance is completely random
and I never disabled my second account in the system settings.

Title:
  Missing users on Ubuntu login screen

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit.
  Quite often when I switch on my computer and boot Ubuntu, when it gets to the login screen, only my username appears. 
  There are 3 user accounts on this computer and my account was the first one created during Ubuntu installation.
  I've seen it happen many times - only my username appears on the list, but when I reboot, the next time the login screen appears, it then shows all 3 users.
  On my old computer when I had Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, I never had this problem and I would always see the 3 user accounts on the login screen list.
