GDM2 2.29.1 (unstable), the "Come Together" Release




The 2.29.1 release is a unstable release of the GNOME Display Manager
(GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:

- 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.
