--------
(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)
The 2.13.0.9 release is an unstable release of GDM2 with one
useful enhancement, the ability for gdmgreeter themes to be able
to specify what GTK+ theme should be used to control appearance
of the F10/Options menu, the entry field, or other GTK+ widgets.
Other than that, there are translation improvements and some minor
changes to address some stability/memory leak issues identified
with the last unstable release.
2.13.0.9 stuff:
- New "gtk-theme" property can be used with the <greeter> tag in
gdmgreeter themes to specify a theme to control the appearance
of the F10/Options menu, the entry field, and other GTK+
widget appearance. (Brian Cameron)
- Core dumping problem with gdmgreeter should be fixed. (Brian
Cameron)
- Some fixes to memory management. Memory leak issues resolved.
(Brian Cameron)
- Correct error message that is printed when ServAuthDir isn't
owned by root:gdm. THis doesn't affect localization since
the string didn't change, just the value placed into the %s
sequence. (Brian Cameron)
- Some C-99 compile issues resolved. (Jans Granseur)
- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, \305\275ygimantas

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,
