Run it to get help. + +- No longer 'asks twice' in graphical login to halt, reboot or suspend + Fixes #90971 + +- When restarting the greeter from the setup dialog the setup dialog will go + insensitive and force a busy cursor on itself. + +- New icon! And new logo. The new icon is now girlfriend approved (she said + it's not as bad as my first attempt to draw one, so I suppose that means + it's ok).

Remove the -kb fromt he command + line so that Xnest understands XKB, and then in the Init script migrate + keyboard configuration. Also read capslock state from the parent server + in the greeter. + +- Close the 0,1,2 descriptors in the gdmXnestchooser so that things like + "`gdmXnest -b`" shell things to get the display number work. + +- gdmXnestchooser acts more nicely on being killed + +- Config file is updated and includes more "documentation" comments + +- If you haven't changed the config then if you are using the tarball install, + the config will be overwritten with the one from the tarball. + +- An incredible "sleep(1)" hack to fix race on server reinit + +- A whole bunch of random small fixes, and changes. + +- Translation updates (He Qiangqiang, Wang Li, Marius Andreiana, + Yukihiro Nakai) + 2.4.0.7 stuff: - The graphical greeter has mnemonics so that you can use the keyboard to |
