Ahh news...
+2.8.0.6 stuff:
+
+- Fix problem with PostSession script not always
+ getting executed when user kills the Xserver
+ with ctrl-alt-backspace. This is caused because
+ an xioerror is generated when the clients are
+ killed and this needs to be ignored for the
+ PostSession script to be processed. This problem
+ tended not to manifest in GDM 2.6 since the
+ call to kill the clients was made earlier.
+ However, it was still a race condition in 2.6
+ and this fix ensures that the slave will never
+ exit too early. (Jerry G. DeLapp)
+
+- The "OK" and "Cancel" buttons in gdmlogin and
+ gdmgreeter now work consistantly. Now the gdmlogin
+ "Cancel" button is active when the Username is
+ requested and pressing it just clears the field, so
+ it works like gdmgreeter. Also fixed a bug in
+ gdmgreeter where a user could corrupt gdmgreeter's
+ memory by hitting cancel after authentication, which
+ could only happen if the PostLogin script caused a
+ long enough delay to allow this to happen.
+ (Brian Cameron)
+
+- No longer set tooltips for menu items in gdmlogin.
+ They are distracting and do not work with
+ accessibility. No GNOME programs use menu tooltips
+ and it is not recommend. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- If slave does not respond to a SIGTERM, try a
+ SIGKILL the second time. This resolves a problem
+ where GDM sometimes stops managing a display
+ because it just keeps waiting for the slave to
+ die. See bug #113902. (Vaclav Smilauer).
+
+- GDM now uses VT_GETSTATE for peeking VT freeness
+
+- Now GDM warns correctly about caps lock if an
+ alternate keymap is enabled. kbGetState is used
+ instead of XkbGetIndicator State.
+ (Sebastien Bacher)
+
+- Now set cursor and watch as soon as GTK+ is
+ initialized and the configure file read, which
+ shortens the amount of time the backgrounds is
+ Xserver default grey. Cleaned up the code so
+ that all programs use a common function to set the
+ background. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Fix reading of config file in gdmflexiserver so
+ it properly reads in the available servers.
+ (Christiaan Welvaart)
+
+- Fixed race condition where a variable used by
+ the signal handlers was not being set until after
+ the signal handlers were setup. Now it is set
+ before avoiding a race. (Simon Bowden/Brian
+ Cameron)
+
+- Define SoundProgram to be /usr/bin/autoplay on
+ Solaris instead of /usr/bin/play, since
+ /usr/bin/play doesn't exist on Solaris.
+
+- Check for XInput fixed in configure and add a
+ check for libgen.h to avoid compiler warnings.
+ (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Updated check in configure for socklen_t so it
+ includes sys/socket.h to better support BSD
+ platforms that define socklen_t there.
+ (dmacks@netspace.org)
+
+- No longer link vicious-extensions with the gesture
+ listeners, since they don't use vicious-extensions.
+
+- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, Runa Bhattacharjee,
+ Dan Damian, Maxim Dziumanenko, Laurent Dhima,
+ Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Priit Laes, Inaki Larranaga,
+ Roozbeh Pournader, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Christian
+ Rose, Ivar Smolin, Marcel Telka, Ilkka Tuohela, Miloslav
+ Trmac)
