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

The 2.14.7 release is a stable release of GDM that has the
following improvements and addresses the following issues:

- Correct build/install issues with gdm-ssh-session and the desktop
   file.  (Brian Cameron)

- Fix bug that was causing the greeter/ShowGnomeFailsafeSession and
   ShowGnomeXtermSession configuration values to not work.  (Brian
   Cameron)

- Fix gdmgreeter so the entry field always has focus after a button
   press when using real GTK+ buttons in the theme.  (Brian Cameron)

- Now per-display configuration works with the greeter/SystemMenu and
   greeter/ChooserButton keys.  (Brian Cameron)

- Corrected a problem with GDM not using the fallback directory when
   it cannot access the user's $HOME directory.  (Arjan Timmerman)

- "make install" no longer fails if user cannot run chown.
   (Brian Cameron)

- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, Rhys Jones, Priit Laes,
   Chao-Hsiung Liao, Gora Mohanty, Daniel Nylander, Kostas
   Papadimas, Ankit Patel, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Francisco
   Javier F. Serrador, Alexander Shopov, Clytie Siddall, Ilkka
   Tuohela, Vincent van Adrighem, Funda Wang)

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.

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

   rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz

Have fun,

Brian
