(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)

The 2.8.0.3 release of GDM2 is a minor release with a few
enhancements and bug fixes.

Changes:

- The GDM website has moved to a new location
  http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/, and the GDM
  mail alias has moved from gdm sunsite dk to
  gdm-list gnome org   README, and GDM docs updated
  with the new information and corrected broken link
  to the GDM Theme section at http://art.gnome.org/
  (Brian Cameron)

- Installation location of gdmphotosetup.desktop
  has moved from the deprecated /usr/share/gnome/capplets
  to /usr/share/applications (Mark McLoughlin/Brian
  Cameron)

- Honor default session when logging in via autologin.
  (Hans Petter Jansson).

- Removed spaces in locale name since it caused GDM
  to discard the locales.  (Frederic Crozat)

- Added missing tooltips (Rodrigo Moya)

- Corrected reading of configuration file in
  gdmflexiserver so it works.  Fixes corrupted
  Session selection dialog presented to user.
  (Brian Cameron)

- Correct use-after-free with the dynamic session in
  the sessions list, corrects tooltip corruption.
  (Joe Marcus Clarke)

- Translation Improvements: Laurent Dhima, Raphael Higino,
  Rhys Jones, Gabor Kelemen, Priit Laes, Kjartan Maraas,
  Kostas Papadimas, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Francisco
  Javier F. Serrador, Alexander Shopov, Terance Sola,
  Marcel Telka, Mugurel Tudor, Funda Wang

Note:  GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp mkp net>, and
has at times been maintained by 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.

Note3:  Note3 has been depracated ...

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

  rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz

Have fun,

Brian
