The 2.13.0.7 release is an unstable release of GDM2 with some
significant bug fixes and some nice usability changes just before
the UI freeze.

2.13.0.7 stuff:

- Turns out the core dumping issue that was supposed to be fixed in
  2.13.0.6 wasn't really fixed.  Now it is.  (Sebastien Bacher)

- New "options_button" available for gdmgreeter themes.  This pops up
  the F10 menu which has all the choices found in the Disconnect,
  System, Sessions, and Language buttons so that themes can have a
  cleaner 1-button look.  The default circles, happygnome, and
  happygnome-list themes now use this style.  (Sebastien Bacher,
  Brian Cameron)

- Fix bugs that were causing User24HourClock=auto to not work properly.
  Now GDM should properly grab the system time format when auto is set.
  (Christopher Aillon)

- Fix bug in PreSession script that was causing it to not properly set
  the background color before starting user session.  (Brian Cameron)

- GDM docs now has a troubleshooting section.  (Brian Cameron)

- Make sure /usr/openwin/bin is in PATH on Solaris, since this is needed
  for PreSession/PostSession scripts to find sessreg and other needed
  X programs.  (Brian Cameron)

- String change of "XDMCP Chooser" to "Remote Login via XDMCP".
  (Brian Cameron)

- Minor tweaks to default/example gdmprefetchlist file so it works
  better for GNOME 2.14 out of the box.  (Brian Cameron)

- Translation updates (Stanislav Brabec, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan,
  Chao-Hsiung Liao, Kjartan Maraas, Lasse Bang Mikkelsen, Kostas
  Papadimas, Ankit Patel, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Alexander Shopov,
  Clytie Siddall, Slobodan D. Sredojevic, Ilkka Tuohela, Vincent van
  Adrighem, Adam Weinberger, Funda Wang)

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.
