gdm (2.29.1-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    [ 2.29.1 ]
    - A new desktop extension is now supported in GDM session desktop files
      (normally found in /usr/share/xsessions). Setting the key to true as follows:
       X-GDM_BypassXsession=true
      will cause the Xsession script to not be used to launch the session.  This
      can be useful if you want to create a "failsafe" xterm session.  The Xsession
      script sources the user's $HOME/.profile, for example, so setting this key
      to true will ensure that any errors in the user's $HOME/.profile will not
      cause the session to fail to start.
    - Fix makedist problem.
    [ 2.29.0 ]
    - Now GDM supports Include, Exclude, and IncludeAll configuration options to
      allow the ability to configure which users are displayed in the FaceBrowser.
    - Now GDM supports better debugging.  Users can set the debug/Enable
      configuration option to turn on GDM debugging.
    - The directory where GDM screenshots are placed has been moved to its own
      directory: /var/run/gdm/greeter/GDM-Screenshot.png.  The screenshot directory
      can now be specified at build time via the --with-screenshot-dir configure
      argument.
    - Many simple-greeter Face Browser usability improvements.
    - The simple-greeter Face Browser tree view search entry is now obscured to
      help prevent accidental display of passwords.
    - Shutdown and reboot functions are moved to a menu in the simple-greeter panel
      instead of being presented as buttons.  The shutdown menu is better
      positioned on multi-monitor displays.
    - The simple-greeter panel notification area has been improved and now honors
      the GConf setting for /apps/notification_area_applet/prefs/padding.
    - The entry field in the simple-greeter now has accessibility labels so it will
      work better with accessibility programs.
    - The clock in the simple-greeter panel no longer shows the date, making the
      screen look a little cleaner.  The date is moved to the clock tooltip so it
      is still available.
    - The simple-greeter now uses gethostname instead of g_get_host_name since
      is more reliable when the hostname changes at runtime.
    - The user switch applet now honors disable_lock_screen.  The option to lock
      screen is now not shown if disable_lock_screen is set.
    - The /var/run/gdm directory is better locked down.
    - GDM no longer crashes on bad UTF-8 in the /etc/passwd file.
    - When the worker dies, the auth-failed signal is no longer sent.  This
      prevents a crash that happens when switching run-levels when the login screen
      is displayed.
    - Ensure that the length of sockaddr structure is set to the correct length for
      IPv4 or IPv6.  This makes GDM work better on some operating systems that are
      picky about the length being exact.
    - String and documentation improvements.
