- Because the main gdm.conf file is now read-only, contains distro
defaults and is not to be edited by the user, the file has been
moved to ${datadir}/gdm/defaults.conf (also factory-gdm.conf is
now %{datadir}/gdm/factory-defaults.conf). Users can use the
--with-defaults-conf to specify the location of this file.
Note that this means that distributions who want to preserve GDM
configuration set by those using older versions of GDM should use
preinstall/postinstall scripts to move the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file
to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom if the file has been edited (compare
against /etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf to see if it has been modified).
"make install" for GDM does this if building from source. GDM
docs updated to reflect this change.
- Lots of performance issues with the GDM sockets connection improved.
Now the code deals much better with failures, and better debug is
printed to the log.
- Improved debug logic in GDM slaves so they use common functions.
- Fix gdmdynamic so it supports up to hundreds of displays rather than
just a dozen or so. Now gdmdynamic backs off on sending sockets
commands to the server if it is being flooded with requests. Added
new "SERVER_BUSY" sockets command to support this feature and new
-t and -s command line options so the back-off behavior can be
tuned, if needed.
- The config logic for the slaves will now return the compiled in
value if it fails to connect to the server for better behavior.
- gdm-restart, gdm-safe-restart, gdm-stop, and gdm.spec now use
gdmflexiserver to get config data rather than trying to grep and
awk the config file directly.
- Fix Xsession script so zenity calls work.
- Lots of improvements to the GDM docs. Added section about "PAM" in
Security. Add comment that +xkb is needed for keyboard gesture
listeners (accessibility) to work. Also updated README and
README.install and moved some information that was in these files
to the docs.
- Bump MAX_CONNECTIONS from 10 to 15 so that the daemon will accept
more connections from slaves. This improves performance when the
daemon is flooded with requests.
- Fix include statement in daemon/gdmconfig.c to fix compile problem
on LFS.
