If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links
at the bottom of this announcement.

The 2.20.2 release is a stable release of the GNOME Display Manager
(GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:

- Fix bugs that were causing XDMCP to not work properly.  (Robert
   Nelson and Brian Cameron)

- Fix so that XDMCP configuration options are read from the
   configuration file.  (Andrew Ziem)

- Fix bug with gdmXnestchooser where it wasn't starting Xephyr with
   the correct arguments.  (Andrew Ziem)

- Fix so that GDM allows setting of LC_TYPE without setting LANG.
   (Sjoerd Simons and Takao Fujiwara)

- Icon imporvements.  (Luca Ferretti)

- Fix leaks.  (Andrew Ziem)

- Translation updates (Nurali Abdurahmonov, Djihed Afifi, Yair
   Hershkovitz, Gintautas Miliauskas)

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.

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.
