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

The 2.16.0 release is a stable release of GDM with the following
new features:

- Minor improvements to SDTLOGIN logic, used on Solaris to drop the
  Xserver to user permissions for added security.

- Translation updates (Subhransu Behera, \305\275ygimantas
  Beru\304\215ka, Runa Bhattacharjee, Stanislav Brabec, Abel Cheung,
  Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Gabor Kelemen, Duarte Loreto, Jordi
  Mallach, Jovan Naumovski, Roozbeh Pournader, Josep Puigdemont i
  Casamaj\303\263, Rajesh Ranjan, Hendrik Richter, Danilo \305\240egan,
  Mugurel Tudor, Funda Wang, Matic \305\275gur)

- Highlights from the 2.15 release cycle.  GDM was enhanced to use
  giochannel for communication between the daemon and slaves and goption
  instead of popt.  gdmsetup startup performance improved, and the
  "Options" button usability has been further improved.  The following
  bugs were fixed.
  327530 - Ensure login window always has focus.
  341619 - No longer save "Failsafe" sessions as user's default login.

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.
