* daemon/gdm.c: Return correct value when GET_CONFIG_FILE is
asked for. Previously the value was NULL when using the compiled
in default.
* gui/gdmcomm.c: Make the message a bit nicer when GDM slave
notices GDM daemon isn't running.
* docs/C/gdm.xml: Improved docs some more. Lukasz didn't update
all the places where the Face Browser change needed to be
mentioned.
