Rewrote the "gdmdynamic Command Line Options" section to fix a problemGDM2_2_19_2
2007-06-04 Brian Cameron <brian.cameron@sun.com> * docs/C/gdm.xml: Rewrote the "gdmdynamic Command Line Options" section to fix a problem with xml2po crashing while trying to process the file. This problem was caused because some of the <varlistentry> items did not have values for the <term> tag, which seemed to make xml2po unhappy. Rewording this section avoids this problem. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4959
