Re: GDM version used for GNOME 2.24?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi:

I know Jon McCann and company did some proactive work to include 
accessibility in the redesign (thanks Jon!), but I'm not sure what the 
status of that is.  If they can show that accessible login works, along 
with the keyboard/mouse/dwell gesturing mechanisms to launch assistive 
technologies at the login screen, it would ease my mind.  :-)

Thanks!

Will
