+ There are some issues that cause some users to have problems
+ getting the gesture listeners to work. It is recommended that
+ people use GDM version 2.8.0.5 or later for best results.
+ Some Xservers have a bug which causes detectable autorepeat
+ to fail when XEVIE is enabled (which happens when atk-bridge
+ is included as a GTK Module). This bug causes key gestures
+ with a duration greater than 0 to always fail. A workaround
+ is to simply redefine all key gestures so they have zero length
+ duration. Some versions of GOK and gnopernicus will not launch
+ unless the gdm user has a writable home directory. If you
+ see an hourglass cursor when you complete a gesture but the
+ program does not start, then you are likely having this problem.
+ Also note that some input devices require Xserver configuration
+ before GDM will recognize them.
