GDM2 2.19.2 (unstable), the "Yet Another Xian" Release

GNOME 3704 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links at the bottom of this announcement.

The 2.19.2 release is an unstable release of the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:

Interface Changes:

- The location of the .gdm_socket file has been moved from /tmp to /var/run. This interface change has been coordinated with gnome-session, gnome-panel, and the Fast-User-Switch Applet (FUSA). This is a more sensible place for GDM to store its sockets file. (Lo\357c Minier)

- Now GDM desktop files are installed to /usr/share/gdm/applications and GDM appends this directory to XDG_DATA_DIR. This way GDM programs only show up in the menus if GDM is actually being used as the login program. This prevents the menu items from showing up if the user switches to another login program. (Brian Cameron)

- The greeter programs no longer accept the Tab key as Enter so that now the GUI's are now more navigable for a11y users. (Patrick Wade)
