GDM2 2.15.0 (unstable), the "Squidlet" Release
AOOH-GAH -------- (If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first) The 2.15.0 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following new features: - Explicitly adjust the effective GID before running the child session program to avoid remaining with high privileges. Fixes bug #340347. (Julio M. Merino Vidal) - Now allow the PAM Stack to be specified in the GDM configuration instead of being hardcoded to "gdm". (Brian Cameron) - Per-display configuration is now supported. The user may create /etc/gdm/custom.conf:<dispnum> files (/etc/gdm/custom.conf:0 for display :0) and GUI related configuration settings in the per-display file will override for that display. (Brian Cameron) - Greeter themes now support real GTK+ button types, making gdmgreeter better support a11y and allow GTK themeable buttons. (Brian Cameron) - New pam-error-logo greeter type to allow an image to be displayed only when the PAM error message label is showing a message. (Brian Cameron) - Updated config/gettextfoo.h to reflect current strings for translation. Fixes bug #340017. (Brian Cameron) - Updated comments in GDM configuration files (Brian Cameron) - GDM now uses the string "Start Over" instead of "Cancel" in the GUI. (Brian Cameron) - Many updates to documentation. Explain gtk-theme greeter tag, new button and pam-error-icon, and startover greeter types, and better info about PAM. (Brian Cameron) Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp@mkp.net>. Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron currently shares maintainership duties with 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. #ifndef GDM_DISABLE_DEPRECATED Note3: Note3 has been depracated ... #endif /* GDM_DISABLE_DEPRECATED */ Downloading: ============ Online Documentation: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gdm/2.8/ No RPM this time around BTW.
