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

The 2.15.3 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following
new features:

- No longer use popt in favor of glib's GOption command line parsing.
  Note that this removes the single-dash options GDM used to support
  (such as the gdm -nodaemon option which is now --nodaemon) which
  were originally supported so GDM would be more like XDM.  Users who
  depend on the single dash options will need to change to use the
  non-deprecated double-dash options.  (Christian Kirbach)

- Fix bug that was causing ShowGnomeFailsafeSession and
  ShowGnomeXtermSession configuration values to not work. (Brian
  Cameron)

- Now add gdm-ssh-session to distribution tarball, and fix the
  ssh-session.desktop file so that it sets the right TryExec
  value even if --libexecdir isn't passed into configure.
  (Brian Cameron)

- Use ngettext in gui/gdmcommon.c for building the Timed Login
  message.  (Benoit Dejean)

- Translation updates (Chao-Hsiung Liao, Gora Mohanty, Ankit Patel)

- Release notes now have correct download directory listed below.

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,
