The 2.17.6 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following
new features.

- More verbose error messages from GDM daemon and gdmsetup when custom.config file is missing. Now GDM will not start gdmsetup if the custom.config file is missing, but instead display a pop-up dialog with an error message. (Lucasz Zalewski)

- Remove redundant GenericName from gdmsetup.desktop. (Brian Cameron)

- Fixes so code compiles with c99 compilers. (Jens Granseuer)

- Translation updates (Djihed Afifi, Clytie Siddall)



Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp@mkp.net>. 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.

No RPM this time around BTW. Have fun. A spec file is included though, so you can try:

Have fun,
