	* gui/gdmsetup.c: when more then 50 users don't put them all in the
	  combo boxes, this is a semi-solution to #111830

	* daemon/verify-shadow.c: Apply patch from cschelcher@free.fr to fall
	  back to standard password when shadow is not available.  Apparently
	  fixes NIS stuff, but I really think people should be using pam,
	  but I digress.  Fixes #109765

	* daemon/auth.c, daemon/misc.c, daemon/server.c, daemon/slave.c:
	  use strerror instead of g_strerror as that returns always UTF-8
	  and we want current locale.  We already assume strerror is on
	  the system so this is not a portability issue anyway.  Fixes
	  #106655

	* utils/gdmopen.c: apply patch from Owen Taylor to fix #106656
	  by not deallocating the vt after we are done as apparently this
	  is what open does and the kernel has a fit otherwise anyway.
	  It's braindead, but oh well, this is the way it apparently works
	  right.

	* daemon/gdm.c: apply patch from Owen Taylor to fix #106656
	  by setting TEXTDOMAIN to GETTEXT_PACKAGE rather then PACKAGE
	  before running scripts

	* utils/gdmopen.c, daemon/misc.c: Apply patch from Owen Taylor
	  to fix #106658, but fix it portably by adding the -l
	  option to gdmopen as suggested by Owen.  So all gdmopens
	  we do are now using login shells which makes me wonder if we
	  should just build that into gdmopen, since it's a special
	  purpose utility anyhow.
