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

The 2.8.0.7 release of GDM2 is a stable release which fixes
some significant build problems discovered since the last
release that affect BSD users and a few other minor bugfixes
and improvements.  See below for more details.

Changes

- Changes to peeking VT freeness in 2.13.0.1 broke
  virtual terminal support on BSD.  This release
  corrects this problem.  (Brian Cameron)

- Correct Linux get VT logic so it returns the
  correct VT.  (Frederic Crozat)

- Now gdmlogin always uses GDK_RGB_DITHER_MAX
  when painting the background to ensure a nice
  background regardless of X configuration
  (e.g. X in 16bpp mode).  (Frederic Crozat)

- Now check for Xserver in prefix /usr.
  (J\303\274rg Billeter)

- Fix configure for Darwin.  (dmacks netspace org)

- Fix compiler warnings. (Frederic Crozat,
  dmacks netspace org, Brian Cameron)

- Ensure gnome.desktop and default.desktop have
  644 perms.  (Andrew Benton)

- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, Runa Bhattacharjee,
  Dan Damian, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Inaki Larranaga,
  Priit Laes, Roozbeh Pournader, Alexander Shopov, Marcel
  Telka, Miloslav Trmac)

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,
