-===============
-Version 2.31.1 
-===============
-
-- Now GDM saves its GConf settings per-seat.  This fixes bug #594818.  So now
-  if the user launches or exits an AT program it only affects the display where
-  the request was made, not all displays running the GDM dialog.
-- Enable FD_CLOEXEC for signal self-pipe.  Fixes bug #617661.
-- Improvements so compiling with -DGSEAL_ENABLE works better.
-- Use g_remove() to remove directories instead of g_unlink().
-- No longer clear the entry field by setting it to a list of '\b' characters.
-  Now use gtk_editable_delete_text which safely clears the entry field instead.
-  See bug #576801.
-- Fix setting of WINDOWPATH so it does not assume the format is 32 bit.  Fixes
-  bug #609272.
-- Fix bug #591937 so the code compiles when ENODATA is not available.
-
-===============
-Version 2.31.0 
-===============
-
-- GDM now better compiles with -DGSEAL_ENABLED.  Fixes bug #612472.
-- Tweak power manager policy to shutdown immediately when hitting power.
-  Previously it would show a dialog with a 60 second timeout.  Fixes bug
-  #617317.
-- Sort session using file basename.  Fixes bug #617516.
-- Avoid double conversion to utf8 in keyboard layout descriptions.  Fixes bug
-  #617108.
-- Fix build failure when libxdmcp is not available.  Fixes bug #616984.
-- String fixes.  Fix bug #609178.
-
-===============
-Version 2.30.1 
-===============
-
-- Accessibility is now enabled by default for the GDM login screen.
-- When the face browser is disabled, the PAM conversation is started
-  immediately, so users do not need to click a button to start entering the
-  username and password.  Fixes bug #591082.
-- Add label-for and labelled-by a11y relations to the entry field in the
-  login GUI.  This makes the login GUI more accessible when using AT programs.
-  Fixes bug #613434.
-- Fixed bugs that were causing XDMCP to not show the greeter again after
-  logout.  Fixes bug #606724.
-- The default XDMCP PingIntervalSeconds was increased from 15 to
-  60 seconds.
-- The WINDOWPATH environment variable is now set for the user session.  Fixes
-  bug #609272.
-- Ensure Init script is called when using Automatic Login.  Fixes bug #614488.

-- Drop xhost localuser:gdm and localuser:root when the user session starts.
-  Fixes bug #605350.
-- Removed the icon monitor from the GDM login GUI since it was not functional
-  and was causing problems with automounting user's $HOME directories.  Fixes
-  bug #609321.
-- Do not mark "%x" for translation.  Fixes bug #613306.
-- Remove duplicated strings for translation.  Fixes bug #609179.
-- Minor doc corrections.
-- Translation updates.
-
-===============
-Version 2.30.0 
-===============
-
-- Translation improvements.
-
-===============
-Version 2.29.92
-===============
-
-- The greeter is not torn down until pam_open_session finishes since
-  some PAM modules can ask questions up until this point.
-- The daemon now kills the session process rather than the entire process
-  group, fixing bug #607738.  The corresponding gnome-session bug #607658 
-  is released with 2.29.92 so this works properly.
-
-===============
-Version 2.29.6
-===============

-
-===============
-Version 2.29.1
-===============
-
-- A new desktop extension is now supported in GDM session desktop files
-  (normally found in /usr/share/xsessions). Setting the key to true as follows:
-
-  X-GDM_BypassXsession=true
-
-  will cause the Xsession script to not be used to launch the session.  This
-  can be useful if you want to create a "failsafe" xterm session.  The Xsession
-  script sources the user's $HOME/.profile, for example, so setting this key
-  to true will ensure that any errors in the user's $HOME/.profile will not
-  cause the session to fail to start.
-
-- Fix makedist problem.
-
-===============
-Version 2.29.0
-===============
-
-- Now GDM supports Include, Exclude, and IncludeAll configuration options to
-  allow the ability to configure which users are displayed in the FaceBrowser.
-- Now GDM supports better debugging.  Users can set the debug/Enable
-  configuration option to turn on GDM debugging.
-- The directory where GDM screenshots are placed has been moved to its own
-  directory: /var/run/gdm/greeter/GDM-Screenshot.png.  The screenshot directory
-  can now be specified at build time via the --with-screenshot-dir configure
-  argument.
-- Many simple-greeter Face Browser usability improvements.
-- The simple-greeter Face Browser tree view search entry is now obscured to
-  help prevent accidental display of passwords.
-- Shutdown and reboot functions are moved to a menu in the simple-greeter panel
-  instead of being presented as buttons.  The shutdown menu is better
-  positioned on multi-monitor displays.
-- The simple-greeter panel notification area has been improved and now honors
-  the GConf setting for /apps/notification_area_applet/prefs/padding.
-- The entry field in the simple-greeter now has accessibility labels so it will
-  work better with accessibility programs.
-- The clock in the simple-greeter panel no longer shows the date, making the
-  screen look a little cleaner.  The date is moved to the clock tooltip so it
-  is still available.
-- The simple-greeter now uses gethostname instead of g_get_host_name since
-  is more reliable when the hostname changes at runtime.
-- The user switch applet now honors disable_lock_screen.  The option to lock
-  screen is now not shown if disable_lock_screen is set.
-- The /var/run/gdm directory is better locked down.
-- GDM no longer crashes on bad UTF-8 in the /etc/passwd file.
-- When the worker dies, the auth-failed signal is no longer sent.  This 
-  prevents a crash that happens when switching run-levels when the login screen
-  is displayed.
-- Ensure that the length of sockaddr structure is set to the correct length for
-  IPv4 or IPv6.  This makes GDM work better on some operating systems that are
-  picky about the length being exact.
-- String and documentation improvements.
-
-===============
-Version 2.28.1
-===============
-
-- GDM will now avoid calling XAddHosts for remote connections.  Refer to bug
-  #598142 for more information.
-- Now GDM uses DeviceKit-power instead of gnome-power-manager for Suspend
-  support.
-- Now the at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop GDM autostart file will run
-  at-spi-registryd directly instead of calling at-spi-registryd-wrapper.

-  before authentication.  Refer to bug #565151.
-- Fix the login GUI options widget so the language/session/layout choices are
-  not reset after a failed login.
-- Fix language dialog so it does not crash if the user click's the "OK" button
-  when no language is selected.

-  correctly.
-- Make sure to check error variable is not NULL before referencing it in the
-  gdm-user-manager code.
