* daemon/errorgui.c, daemon/server.c, daemon/slave.c:
using /tmp as failsafe for HOME seems on second thought patently
bad for security. Use ServAuthDir for gdm processes and / again
for user and server.
* daemon/errorgui.c: Use GtkTextView for the details file display.
this be much nicer to CPU/network traffic if the details file is
big (GtkLabel is BAD for displaying 500 lines of text quite
apparently). Also fixup encoding conversion issues, and use
checkbox instead of a button.
* gui/greeter/greeter.[ch], gui/greeter/greeter_item_pam.c:
update the use of login protocol to sync with gdmlogin
* daemon/misc.[ch], daemon/auth.c, daemon/gdm.c, daemon/slave.c:
be extra careful even in users home dir and in ServAuthDir when
opening files. Not a huge deal but prevents some possible
damage if someone gains the gdm user access somehow.
* daemon/misc.c: fix minor memleak on conversion errors
* gui/modules/dwellmouselistener.c, gui/modules/keymouselistener.c:
fix compiler warnings.
* daemon/server.c: support XFree86 version 4 logfile format
* config/XKeepsCrashing: For XFree86 v4 it's possible that X puts its
log not on the command line but into a file, so ask if that
should be viewed as well.
* daemon/gdm.c: whack the stored_path stuff and just restore
to the initial env before re execing, also restore env when
we launch XKeepsCrashing
* utils/gdmopen.c: on linux set TERM=linux otherwise the fonts
just may not work right
* NEWS: update
