Updated. Update to 2.13.0.8 and use EXPANDED_DATADIR instead of %{datadir}

2006-02-13  Brian Cameron  <brian.cameron@sun.com>

        * Release 2.13.0.8:
        * NEWS: Updated.
        * configure.ac: Update to 2.13.0.8 and use EXPANDED_DATADIR instead
          of %{datadir} since that makes it work much better.
        * README.install, README, docs/C/gdm.xml:  Update docs so that the
          change from --with-configdir to --with-defaults-conf and renaming of
          default and custom config file is documented.
        * daemon/gdm-net.c, daemon/gdmconfig.c, gui/gdmsetup.c: Update comments
          to no longer mention old name of config file.  Fix gdmsetup to know
          new location of custom config file.
        * config/Makefile.am: Now if upgrading and gdm.conf and
          factory-gdm.conf are different, move the gdm.conf file to
          custom.conf instead of copy.  This is  because we don't want GDM
          to overwrite the custom.conf file every time user upgrades.  Only
          first time, then gdm.conf should go away.

 Ahh news...
 
+2.13.0.8 stuff:
+
+- Because the main gdm.conf file is now read-only, contains distro
+  defaults and is not to be edited by the user, the file has been
+  moved to ${datadir}/gdm/defaults.conf (also factory-gdm.conf is
+  now %{datadir}/gdm/factory-defaults.conf).  Users can use the
+  --with-defaults-conf to specify the location of this file.
+  Note that this means that distributions who want to preserve GDM 
+  configuration set by those using older versions of GDM should use
+  preinstall/postinstall scripts to move the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file
+  to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom if the file has been edited (compare
+  against /etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf to see if it has been modified).
+  "make install" for GDM does this if building from source.  GDM
+  docs updated to reflect this change.
+
+- Lots of performance issues with the GDM sockets connection improved.
+  Now the code deals much better with failures, and better debug is
+  printed to the log.
+
+- Improved debug logic in GDM slaves so they use common functions.
+
+- Fix gdmdynamic so it supports up to hundreds of displays rather than
+  just a dozen or so.  Now gdmdynamic backs off on sending sockets
+  commands to the server if it is being flooded with requests.  Added
+  new "SERVER_BUSY" sockets command to support this feature and new
+  -t and -s command line options so the back-off behavior can be 
+  tuned, if needed.
+
+- The config logic for the slaves will now return the compiled in
+  value if it fails to connect to the server for better behavior.
+
+- gdm-restart, gdm-safe-restart, gdm-stop, and gdm.spec now use
+  gdmflexiserver to get config data rather than trying to grep and 
+  awk the config file directly.  
+
+- Fix Xsession script so zenity calls work.
+
+- Lots of improvements to the GDM docs.  Added section about "PAM" in
+  Security.  Add comment that +xkb is needed for keyboard gesture
+  listeners (accessibility) to work.  Also updated README and 
+  README.install and moved some information that was in these files
+  to the docs.
+
+- Bump MAX_CONNECTIONS from 10 to 15 so that the daemon will accept
+  more connections from slaves.  This improves performance when the
+  daemon is flooded with requests.
+
+- Fix include statement in daemon/gdmconfig.c to fix compile problem
+  on LFS.
+
+- Translation updates (Raphael Higino, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan,
+  Priit Laes, Kjartan Maraas, Lukas Novotny, Ankit Patel,
+  Josep Puigdemont i Casamaj\303\263, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro,
+  Hendrik Richter, Francisco Javier F. Serrador, Clytie Siddall,
