The 2.17.8 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following new features.
The 2.17.8 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following new features.
- In gdmlogin, change "Session" mnemonic to "e" instead of "s" so it doesn't conflict with the "Start Again" button.
- Now AlwaysLoginCurrentSession is set to true by default.
- Fix spacing in gdmsetup so it uses less vertical space. (Lukasz Zalewski)
- Fix gdmchooser so it builds with HURD.
- Fix comparison with string literal in gdmdynamic. (Hans Petter Jansson)
- On Solaris, gnome.session script calls /usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds instead of gnome.session since Xsession.jds starts D-Bus daemons needed for GNOME to run properly. (Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, Josep Puigdemont i Casamaj\\303\\263, Nguy\\341\\273\\205n Th\\303\\241i Ng\\341\\273\\215c Duy, Artur Flinta, Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle, Leonid Kanter, Gabor Kelemen, Priit Laes, David Lodge, Kjartan Maraas, Daniel Nylander, Hendrik Richter, Changwoo Ryu, Thomas Thurman, Ilkka Tuohela)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen lt;mkp@mkp.netgt;. Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will however save backups with the .orig extension first.

Note3: Note3 has been depracated ...
