What is Sabayon?
================

Sabayon is a tool which system administrators can use to pre-configure
GNOME desktops for many users.  With Sabayon, sysadmins can set
configuration values, put files in the users' desktops, and lock down
certain settings (for example, to say that users should not be able to
change their HTTP proxy).

Sabayon tries to integrate all the configuration parameters which a
sysadmin would like to make within a GNOME desktop, even for common
applications like OpenOffice.org and Mozilla Firefox which are not
designed explicitly with GNOME in mind.

Release notes
=============

  What's new in this release:

	* Sabayon now uses Xephyr instead of Xnest for its child
          session.  This means that a) you must have Xephyr installed;
          b) the child session should work much better than before, as
          Xephyr supports most of the recent X extensions, unlike
          Xnest.

	* Sabayon now passes the DEBUG_WHILE_IN_SABAYON environment
          variable untouched to all its child processes.  You can use
          this as a hook from applications to debug them in special
          ways while they are being run inside Sabayon.

	* For debugging purposes, Sabayon no longer eats the stderr
          output from its child processes.  This will change in the
          future as we improve the logging infrastructure.

  Fixes:

	* bgo#542604 - Fix file monitoring (Sayamindu Dasgupta)

	* bgo#576440 - Don't crash if XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME is not set
          (Tomas Bzatek)

	* bgo#564405 - use gobject.timeout_add_seconds() where
          possible (Debarshi Ray)

	* Fix monitoring and saving of panel applets (Sayamindu Dasgupta, 
	  Federico Mena Quintero).  This gets rid of the annoying
	  error, "cannot concatenate str and NoneType objects".

	* Ignore .gvfs in user profiles (Federico Mena Quintero)
