Fix bug that was causing gdmflexiserver to fail. Because we were calling

2006-02-10  Brian Cameron  <brian.cameron@sun.com>

        * gui/gdmflexiserver.c: Fix bug that was causing gdmflexiserver
          to fail.  Because we were calling gtk-init when the --command
          option was being used, and this breaks gdmflexiserver since it
          is sometimes run with the --command option when there is no
          display.
        * README, README.install: Updated with some new features and moved some
          info to docs/C/gdm.xml where the info is more useful.
        * TODO: Updated.
        * configure.ac: Fixed the mess about /usr/opensolaris/bin
        * gui/greeter/greeter_system.c: Do not put tooltips on menus.  They are
          a bad idea and their use is discouraged by the HIG because they break
          a11y.
        * docs/C/gdm.xml: Updated docs with a bunch of information from the
          README and README.install file that really belonged in the docs.
