The 2.14.6 release is a stable release of GDM that adds the following:

- Backporting some useful features from 2.15 to 2.14.   Per-display
  configuration and new gdmgreeter theming options (real GTK+ buttons,
  pam-error-logo, and "startagain" stock label is displayed as "Cancel".
  Note that the default themes shipped with GDM 2.14 do not use these
  features, but this patch means newer themes made with 2.15 should now
  work with this version of 2.14 and above. No strings were changed due
  to this change.  (Brian Cameron, Erwann Chenede)

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

- 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.
