(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)

The 2.8.0.3 release of GDM2 is a minor release with a few
enhancements and bug fixes.

Changes:

- The GDM website has moved to a new location
   http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/, and the GDM
   mail alias has moved from gdm@sunsite.dk to
   gdm-list@gnome.org.  README, and GDM docs updated
   with the new information and corrected broken link
   to the GDM Theme section at http://art.gnome.org/
   (Brian Cameron)

- Installation location of gdmphotosetup.desktop
   has moved from the deprecated /usr/share/gnome/capplets
   to /usr/share/applications (Mark McLoughlin/Brian
   Cameron)

- Honor default session when logging in via autologin.
   (Hans Petter Jansson).

- Removed spaces in locale name since it caused GDM
   to discard the locales.  (Frederic Crozat)

- Added missing tooltips (Rodrigo Moya)

- Corrected reading of configuration file in
   gdmflexiserver so it works.  Fixes corrupted
   Session selection dialog presented to user.
   (Brian Cameron)

- Correct use-after-free with the dynamic session in
   the sessions list, corrects tooltip corruption.
   (Joe Marcus Clarke)

- Translation Improvements: Laurent Dhima, Raphael Higino,
   Rhys Jones, Gabor Kelemen, Priit Laes, Kjartan Maraas,
   Kostas Papadimas, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Francisco
   Javier F. Serrador, Alexander Shopov, Terance Sola,
   Marcel Telka, Mugurel Tudor, Funda Wang

Note:  GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp@mkp.net>, and
has at times been maintained by the Queen of England.

Note2:  If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites
most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf.  It will however save backups
with the .orig extension first.

No RPM this time around BTW.  Have fun.  A spec file is included though,
so you can try:

Have fun,
