GDM2 2.13.0.6 (unstable), the "Yay! Face Browser" release

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

The 2.13.0.6 release is an unstable release of GDM2 with one
significant fix that corrects a core dumping problem with the
GDM greeter program when using the Face Browser and the IncludeAll
option together.  I recommend distros use this version instead of
2.13.0.5 since nobody likes it when the login program core dumps.

Changes:

2.13.0.6 stuff:

- The core dumping issue mentioned in the previous release has been
  corrected.  Now using both IncludeAll and the Face Browser should
  no longer core dump the greeter.  (Sebastien Bacher)

- Using "restart" instead of "reboot" in messages.  (Brian Cameron)

- Docs added for "Secure Remote" feature added in last release.
  (Dominique Hazael-Massieux)

- Translation updates (Kjartan Maraas, Lasse Bang Mikkelsen, Ankit
  Patel, Ignacia Casal Quinteriro, Clytie Siddall, Ilkka Tuohela)

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.

Note3:  Note3 has been depracated ...

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,
