Wed Jun 29 11:10:11 UTC 2011

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 3.0.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
gdm (3.0.4-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Sebastien Bacher ]
  * New upstream version 3.0.0
  * Start cleaning for the GNOME3 update
  * debian/patches/00git_passwordless_login_crash.patch,
    debian/patches/17_use_timed_login_after_autologin.patch,
    debian/patches/19_no_greeter_for_autologin.patch,
    debian/patches/37_disable_resize_grip.patch,
    debian/patches/38_user_chooser_focus.patch,
    debian/patches/43_translate_cancel_button.patch:
    - those are fixed is in the new version
  * debian/patches/08_use_polkit_for_settings.patch,
    debian/patches/09_gdmsetup.patch:
    - drop gdmsetup, the options should be integrated in gnome-control-center
      (the autologin one is in the user account configuration for example)
  * debian/patches/09_gdmserver_gconf_settings.patch:
    - the gconf hack to turn on and off login sounds, that should be
      rewritten use gsettings if wanted, lightdm should also make that easier
  * debian/patches/10_xsplash.patch:
    - xsplash was a one cycle hack and has been deprecated since
  * debian/patches/24_respect_system_minuid.patch:
    - deprecated with the accountsservice use
  * debian/patches/25_update_gconf_directories.patch:
    - the new version use gsettings and that was useful for the
      gdmsetup configuration only
  * debian/patches/34_disable_a11y_default.patch:
    - the change was not appropriate for a sru but is fine early
      during the cycle
  * debian/%gconf-tree.xml:
    - tweaks to the default layout, those will need to be revisited with the
      new ui and gsettings if needed (no needed if lightdm is the default?)
  * Resynchronize some of the files on Debian to lower the difference

  [ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
  * debian/patches/36_language_environment_settings.patch:
    Set LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE to the same locale name as LC_MESSAGES
    (LP: #786986).
  * Patches adapted to gdm-3.0.0:
    - 15_default_session.patch
    - 30_don_t_save_failsafe_session.patch
    - 32-hide-mouse-cursor.patch
    - 45_time_display_on_greeter.patch
    - 90_register-bin-true-as-URI-scheme-handler-for-several-schemes.patch
  * debian/patches/45_time_display_on_greeter.patch:
    Display time on the greeter in a proper format also when
    /etc/default/locale assigns different locales to LANG respective
    LC_MESSAGES (LP: #777264).
  * debian/gdm.upstart:
    Export LC_MESSAGES so the weekday gets displayed in the system
    language on the greeter.
  * debian/patches/41_pt_time_format.patch:
    Patch deleted (superseded by 45_time_display_on_greeter.patch).

  [ Robert Ancell ]
  * debian/patches/42_no_ecryptfs_autologin.patch:
    - Only stop autologin if full home directory encryption is used
      (LP: #753707)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream version 3.0.4.
  * debian/control.in: Require accountsservice 0.6.12.
  * Drop 90_register-bin-true-as-URI-scheme-handler-for-several-schemes.patch:
    Fixed upstream in a different way.
  * debian/gdm.install: install the dummy desktop handler and the
    mimeapps.list to /usr/share/gdm/applications.
  * debian/rules: Drop installation of bonobo .server for FUSA, this is all
    obsolete.
  * debian/rules: Drop installation of debian/%gconf-tree.xml, which was
    removed above.
  * Drop 35_langlist_and_lsmess_dmrc_fields.patch: This now needs to be
    reimplemented in accountsservice.
  * 42_no_ecryptfs_autologin.patch: Update to gdm 3.0.
  * Synchronize patches with Debian:
    - Drop 04_fix_external_program_directories.patch, replace with
      07_libexec-paths.patch.
    - Add 93_xdg_data_dirs.patch.
    - Add 01_language.patch.
    - Drop 02_x_server_location.patch, replace with 16_xserver_path.patch. Set
      $X_PATH and friends in debian/rules.
    - Rename 05_initial_server_on_vt7.patch to 06_first_vt.patch. They have
      the same purpose, but ours is two magnitudes simpler.
    - Add 08_frequent-users_greeter.patch.
    - Rename 06_run_xsession.d.patch to ubuntu_run_xsession.d.patch; we don't
      use Debian's Xsession script, but upstream's.
    - Rename 11_crash_for_apport.patch to ubuntu_dont_catch_sigsegv.patch.
    - Rename 14_guest_session.patch to ubuntu_guest_session.patch.
    - Rename 20_upstart.patch to ubuntu_upstart_event.patch.
    - Rename 26_no_debug.patch to ubuntu_no_debug.patch.
    - Rename 39_grep_path.patch to 29_grep_path.patch just as Debian did.
  * Merge 27_save_root_window.patch and 28_plymouth_transition.patch into
    ubuntu_plymouth.patch, to correspond better with its origin at
    http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=gdm.git;a=blob;f=plymouth.patch;hb=HEAD
  * Drop 16_gdmserver_user_manager.patch, this info is now provided by
    accountsservice.
  * Drop 32-hide-mouse-cursor.patch. It never really looked that much better,
    and is unimportant now that gdm isn't even the default DM any more.
  * Drop 40_one_lang_option_per_translation.patch: gdm does not show a
    language list any more, thus obsolete.
  * 44_xsession-errors_symlink.patch: Fix case of .xsession-errors pointing to
    non-files such as /dev/null. Also rename to
    00git_xsession-errors_symlink.patch, as the patch was also committed
    upstream now. (LP: #771661)
  * debian/watch: Look for .bz2 tarballs; upstream stopped publishing .gz
    ones.
  * debian/control.in: Add missing gnome-pkg-tools dependency.
  * debian/control.in: Bump Standards-Vesion to 3.9.2.
  * debian/gdm.preinst: Add missing debhelper token.
