The 2.29.1 release is a unstable release of the GNOME Display Manager
(GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:
- A new desktop extension is now supported in GDM session desktop files
(normally found in /usr/share/xsessions). Setting the key to true as
follows:
X-GDM_BypassXsession=true
will cause the Xsession script to not be used to launch the session.
This can be useful if you want to create a "failsafe" xterm session.
The Xsession script sources the user's $HOME/.profile, for example, so
setting this key to true will ensure that any errors in the user's
$HOME/.profile will not cause the session to fail to start.
- Fix makedist problem.
