If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links at the bottom of this announcement.
The 2.18.1 release is a stable release of the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:
- The GDM configuration option daemon/PidFile is now deprecated and GDM now always uses /var/run/gdm.pid. The location can be configured at compile time with the configure --with-pid-file option. This fixes bug #162849. (William Jon McCann)
- Now GDM supports Xephyr as the Nested Xserver command. GDM will use Xephyr by default if it is on the system, and fallback to Xnest. Xephyr works much better than Xnest. (Brian Cameron)
- GDM application desktop files now use the correct categories, so the menu choices should appear in the correct place in the menu. (Brian Cameron)
- Remove the userlist from the circles and happygnome themes since this was causing problems for some users. This change will go into 2.20 where we are fixing the problem better by fixing gdmsetup to support setting the configuration so that gdmlogin and gdmgreeter work the same way with the Browser key.
