(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,
