Re: [gdm-list] GDM2 2.13.0.4 (unstable), the "Gerbil Wolf" release

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Philip:

Thanks so much for catching this bug.  Yes, GDM now requires glib 2.8.
Though you could just change all the calls to g_access to just "access"
if you want to work around this problem.

For putting together a patch to make priority work with gdmsetup, then
this workaround would be a fine way to resolve the problem without
messing about, or if upgrading to glib 2.8 is a hassle.

If we really want to still support glib 2.6, then we could make
configure.ac check which version of glib is available and decide which
version of access or g_access to use based on configure and #ifdef's.

Sorry about causing the problem.

Brian
