The 2.19.3 release is an unstable release of the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:
- Ensure non-null size is set by default for pango font description (Frederic Crozat)
- Now set WINDOWPATH so that AT programs such as braille displays can work better with Xnest and sessions started via VT. (Samuel Thibault)
- Now support VT on Solaris where available (Brian Cameron)
- No longer call logindevperm logic when logging into XNEST sessions since we do not want to change device permissions on Solaris for XNEST sessions, only for the real console session.
- Doc and string improvements. (Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Pema Geyleg, Priit Laes, Alexander
Shopov)
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 now 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.
#ifndef GDM_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
Note3: Note3 has been depracated ...
