Sorry for the resend, correcting version number in the subject
line.

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

The 2.15.7 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following
new features.

- Now GDM does not save Failsafe GNOME or Failsafe Xterm as the
  user's default session, so the user does not lose their
  default setting when using Failsafe (bug #341619).
  (Brian Cameron)

- Updated GDM's slave/daemon message handling so it uses
  giochannel internal buffering.  This should prevent messages
  from getting lost.  (Ray Strode)

- Performance improvements to gdmsetup start-up.  (Ray Strode)

- Fix for compiling with GCC 2.95.  (Jens Granseuer)

- Translation updates (Beno\303\256t Dejean, Christophe Merlet,
  Lukas Novotny, Ahmad Riza H Nst, Kostas Papadimas, Hendrik
  Richter)

Note that this also contains an important security fix that was
originally released in 2.15.4, so please make sure to update if
using an older version than 2.15.4.

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.
