AOOH-GAH
--------

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

The 2.15.1 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following
new features:

- Correct double free that was causing a core dump in the last release.
  (Joe Marcus Clark)

- Improvements to signal handling, fixing problem where GDM slave can
  hang on read.  Fixes bug #336549.  (Ed Catmur, Brian Cameron)

- "Start Over" string changed to "Start Again" after another round of
   UI review (Brian Cameron, Calum Benson)

- Better configure support for FreeBSD.  Now the default configuration
  should be better integrated with kernel/system interfaces.  (Joe
  Marcus Clark)

- Fix security/AllowRemoteAutoLogin and fix SuspendCommand configuration
  so it honors SystemMenu.  (Brian Cameron)

- Correct installation of gdm-ssh-session and now the desktop file is
  translated.  (Brian Cameron)

- Correct invocation of PreFetch, when enabled, so it only executes
  once.  (Brian Cameron)

- Translation updates (Josep Puigdemont Casamaj\303\263, Beno\303\256t
  Dejean, Pema Geyleg, Inaki Larranaga, Daniel Nylander, Ignacio Casal
  Quinteiro, Francisco Javier F. Serrador, Alexander Shopov, Ilkka
  Tuohela, 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.

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,
