Ahh news...
+2.8.0.2 stuff:
+
+- GDM now supports more dynamic configuration. The
+ gdm daemon supports the --config option which allows
+ an alternative configuration file to be supported.
+ The --with-configdir configure option may also be
+ used to specify a system-wide configuration location
+ so the gdm.conf file can be located on a mounted
+ directory. To support machine-specific configuration,
+ an existing %sysconfdir/gdm configuration file will
+ override a system-wide configuration file. Refer
+ to the GDM documentation for more information.
+ (Brian Cameron)
+
+- New configuration option AlwaysLoginCurrentSession
+ which will automatically switch the user to their
+ previous session without asking. This feature is
+ turned off by default. (William Jon McCann)
+
+- Now Use24Clock setting support "auto" which will
+ use the system default for date/time formatting.
+ (Tommi Vainikainen)
+
+- Better backwards compatibility support for Welcome
+ and RemoteWelcome. If using an old gdm.conf file
+ that does not have settings for DefaultWelcome and/or
+ DefaultRemoteWelcome, GDM will continue to work as
+ it did before these new configuration options were
+ added. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Usability improvements to gdmsetup. "Face Browser"
+ tab renamed to "User". Now tabs no longer have
+ mnemonics, since this violates HIG. Fixed broken
+ sensitivity on the "Users" tab. Improved labels.
+
+- Support HIG style button layout in gdmlogin.
+ (William Jon McCann)
+
+- Use GTK+ themed icon stock_person before falling
+ back to the DefaultFace. (William Jon McCann)
+
+- Usability improvements to the face browser when using
+ gdmgreeter, now the background behind the userlist
+ translucent. (William Jon McCann)
+
+- Usability improvements to gdmphotosetup, and now
+ better follows HIG. (William Jon McCann)
+
+- New selection of face browser images. (William
+ Jon McCann)
+
+- No longer stat or read face images from remote home
+ directories. (William Jon McCann)
+
+- New gdmflexiserver command "GET_CONFIG_FILE" which
+ will return the location of the configuration file
+ being used by the daemon. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Now gdmflexiserver command "GET_CONFIG" works.
+ Previously it only returned a value if the value
+ was set in the gdm.conf file. Now it returns
+ compiled-in default values if gdm.conf has no
+ setting. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Support DragonFly VT. (Joerg Sonnenberger)
+
+- GDM configure script now Supports TCP Wrappers on Solaris.
+ (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Many string/grammar improvements. (Tommi Vainikainen,
+ Brian Cameron)
+
+- Better C89 compiler support. (Jens Granseuer)
