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

The 2.13.0.3 release is an unstable release of GDM2
which has a few minor improvements, see below.

Changes:

2.13.0.3 stuff:

- Minor UI improvements to gdmsetup (Dennis Cranston,
  Calum Benson)

- Removed libgnome dependencies for all GDM programs
  except gdmflexiserver and gdmsetup.  These should be
  fixed for the next release.  (Jani Monoses,
  Brian Cameron)

- Now communications protocol used by client does not
  shut down after each call, improves performance.
  (Brian Cameron)

- More clear stability information about gdm.conf file
  in README (Brian Cameron)

- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA,
  \305\275ygimantas Beru\304\215ka,
  Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Kjartan Maraas,
  Christophe Merlet, Francisco Javier F. Serrador,
  \303\205smund Skj\303\246veland, Alexander Shopov,
  Marcel Telka, Miloslav Trmac, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro,
  Adam Weinberger)

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:

  rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz

Have fun,
