Ahh news...
+2.15.4 Stuff:
+
+- Correction for serious security issue where the user can enter the
+ GDM configuration GUI with a user password when the Face Browser
+ is enabled. Refer to bugzilla.gnome.org bug #343476 and
+ CVE-2006-2452. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Fixed bug where when the "Include All" button is modified in the
+ Users tab, the Automatic/Timed login dropdown lists update
+ properly. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Now gdmflexiserver calls gdmcomm_check with FALSE so it will not
+ pop up a dialog. gdmflexiserver can be run with the --command
+ option which can be used when the user does not have permission to
+ a DISPLAY, so trying to show a dialog was causing gdmflexiserver
+ to core dump when the check failed. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Added gestures to the AccessKeyMouseEvents configuration file
+ so that users can access more accessibility features using
+ dwell gestures. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Now Welcome message is saved in the configuration file in
+ UTF-8 format for better readibility. (Frederic Peters)
+
+- The GDM daemon once again supports the -nodaemon option.
+ (Ray Strode)
+
+- Improvements to Face Browser. Now do not ask the user to
+ re-enter username on password failure. The cancel button
+ must now be used to unselect a user. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Now when GTK+ style buttons are used in gdmgreeter themes,
+ focus always returns to the entry field after clicking on
+ a button. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- Now per-display configuration works for greeter/SystemMenu
+ and greeter/ChooserButton keys. (Brian Cameron)
+
+- "make install" no longer fails if chown fails. (Brian
+ Cameron)
+
+- If authdir is the fallback dir. If not, and GDM cannot
+ access the user's $HOME directory, then try and use the
+ fallback directory. (Arjan Timmerman)
+
+- Translation updates (Pema Geyleg, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan,
+ Gabor Kelemen, Priit Laes, Kjartan Maraas, Ankit Patel,
+ Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Francisco Javier F. Serrador,
+ Clytie Siddall, Alexander Shopov, Vincent van Adrighem)
