I encountered the same problem with Mandriva linux. When you login as simple user, then yuo have to launch the system configuration tool (every distro has its own..), probably there's an entry in your Kmenu.
Then you must provide root's password to have access to the program.
Now you have to find the "login" section, switch to users tab and define who should appear in login menu. The best choice is to disable the feature of showing users and to restore the classic login mask.
Hope this will help you. Bye.
