Cleanup for login success/failure sounds. Patch provided by Mark
2005-04-19 Brian Cameron <brian.cameron@sun.com> * config/gdm.conf.in, daemon/gdm.[ch], daemon/slave.c, gui/gdmchooser.c, giu/gdmlogin.c: Cleanup for login success/failure sounds. Patch provided by Mark McLoughlin. Refer to bug #300136. * daemon/gdm.c: Fix FlexiServer commands so that all output for a single command is sent as a single call to gdm_connection_write or gdm_connection_printf rather than building commands and sending them out in pieces. Also use gdm_connection_printf rather than building so many temporary strings. Patch provided by for GDM_SUP_QUERY_LOGOUT_ACTION, but I reworked the patch so the same technique is used for all gdmflexiserver commands. Fixes bug #158799. Patch based on one provided by Raffaele Sandrini <rasa@gmx.ch> * gui/greeter/greeter_geometry.c, gui/greeter/greeter_item.h, gui/greeter/greeter_parser.c, docs/C/gdm.xml: Now support ratio scaling of SVG images. Docs weren't provided with the patch so I added some. Patch provided by. Fixes bug 159524. Patch provided by Vincent Untz <vincent@vuntz.net>. * gui/gdmlogin.c: Rearrange how the widgets are organized to make it look a bit better now that the message fields have sizes defined to avoid gdm2 resizing. Bit more of a fix for bug #117779. * README.install: Spell corrections and minor updates, now mention that running configure with the option --with-post-path=/usr/openwin/bin is recommended on Solaris. * MAINTAINERS, AUTHORS, NEWS, docs/C/gdm.xml, daemon/gdm.h: Fixed spelling, added contributors to AUTHORS file for patches made in the past few months. * docs/C/gdm.xml: Fixed bug 300138 by providing better sound docs in the a11y section. Fixes bug #300138. Patch provided by Andrew Case. * gui/gdmsetup.glade, gui/gdmsetup-strings.c: Removed strings "sdfg" and "asdf" since they can't be translated. Fixes bug #301211. * gui/gdmchooser.c: Removed needless comment.
