	* daemon/errorgui.c, daemon/server.c, daemon/slave.c:
	  using /tmp as failsafe for HOME seems on second thought patently
	  bad for security.  Use ServAuthDir for gdm processes and / again
	  for user and server.

	* daemon/errorgui.c: Use GtkTextView for the details file display.
	  this be much nicer to CPU/network traffic if the details file is
	  big (GtkLabel is BAD for displaying 500 lines of text quite
	  apparently).  Also fixup encoding conversion issues, and use
	  checkbox instead of a button.

	* gui/greeter/greeter.[ch], gui/greeter/greeter_item_pam.c:
	  update the use of login protocol to sync with gdmlogin

	* daemon/misc.[ch], daemon/auth.c, daemon/gdm.c, daemon/slave.c:
	  be extra careful even in users home dir and in ServAuthDir when
	  opening files.  Not a huge deal but prevents some possible
	  damage if someone gains the gdm user access somehow.

	* daemon/misc.c: fix minor memleak on conversion errors

	* gui/modules/dwellmouselistener.c, gui/modules/keymouselistener.c:
	  fix compiler warnings.

	* daemon/server.c: support XFree86 version 4 logfile format

	* config/XKeepsCrashing: For XFree86 v4 it's possible that X puts its
	  log not on the command line but into a file, so ask if that
	  should be viewed as well.

	* daemon/gdm.c: whack the stored_path stuff and just restore
	  to the initial env before re execing, also restore env when
	  we launch XKeepsCrashing

	* utils/gdmopen.c: on linux set TERM=linux otherwise the fonts
	  just may not work right

	* NEWS: update
