[gdm-list] GDM2 2.13.0.10 (unstable), the "Happiness Revisited" release

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

The 2.13.0.10 release is an unstable release of GDM2 that
resolves an interface stability issue.  Now if the user has
a /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file installed on their system, this
will be used instead of the custom.conf file.  This better
supports backwards compatibility if the user has an old
configuration file on their system.

2.13.0.10 stuff:

- Now GDM will use the gdm.conf file if it exists as the custom.conf
  file, so if the user has an old configuration file it will continue
  to use that.  (Brian Cameron)

- Translation updates (Gabor Kelemen, Alexander Shopov)

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,
