Plans are on the Wiki:  There is currently a GDM rewrite in the works.
The new rewrite works with D-Bus.

It is likely that the rewrite will require on-going work to re-enable
all the features that people want.

Plans are to release with the regular GNOME schedule.

It would have been nice if more of the cleanup work had made an
impact on 2.20, but I think we did as much as we could.

No.

Yes.  I work on multimedia applications, and on general issues with
GNOME working on Solaris.

No.
