Re: patched garball for gdm

["Joseph E. Sacco, PhD" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Jeremy,

At our request, the maintainer of gdm has kindly fixed this problem and
issued a point release, 2.13.0.2. 

If you wish to update, do the following:

* cd desktop/gdm

* edit the GAR Makefile
change the version: 2.13.0.1 -> 2.13.0.2

* update the checksums
run: make makesum

you are now ready to build

* make install > make_install.log 2>&1 &


-Joseph
