For those getting bored with GDM 2.28 default greeter.
This is GDM 2.28's default greeter UI modified for a horizontal arrangement.
You need to copy the downloaded file to
/usr/share/gdm/gdm-greeter-login-window.ui
(back up the original first!)
I removed some bits of the original login screen because I don't use them:
* User list container
* Custom message field
You must turn off the user list for this to work! See : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8100229&postcount=8
You can run
[indent]sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor[/indent]
from your session to access the GConf settings for the login screen.
Tested on 10.04 and 10.10 working.
Don't forget to vote! ;)

On 1024x768 it is small like you say. The screenshot was from 1600x900, which is why it is really long.
I'll have a play with the settings in the Glade designer.

It's much shorter because I removed a lot of the container objects from the original Glade UI file... specifically containers for the user list and the custom message.
Cheers!

You MUST disable the user list in GDM's GConf settings, you can do this using the command:
sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
--type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
