This switches to the gnome-2.20 branch, too many changes to list here.
(The update has taken a while because the XDMCP code relies on
IPv6-mapped IPv4 sockets which is not so easy on NetBSD.)
changes:
- Backporting some useful features from 2.15 to 2.14. Per-display
configuration and new gdmgreeter theming options
-bugfixes
-Better configure support for FreeBSD
-Translation updates
-Added gestures to the AccessKeyMouseEvents configuration file
session has more privileges than it should and GTK applications simply
refuse to start.
I do not know how this slipped in the release... maybe some libc function
behaves differently in Linux. Will report this upstream later.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
2.14.2 stuff:
- Now include gui/gdmthemetester.in in the distribution. It being missing
was causing the module to fail to compile. (Brian Cameron)
- Fix to the BROADCAST key in gdmchooser so it should now work. (Brian
Cameron, kudos to Tiago Vignatti)
- Further cleanups to Addresses CVE-2006-1057. (Hans Petter Jansson,
Ray Strode)
- Path and RootPath now do not contain /usr/bin or /bin more than once.
(Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, \305\275ygimantas Beru\304\215ka,
Laurent Dhima, Pema Geyleg, Lukas Novotny)
2.14.1 stuff:
- The sockets connection between the slaves and the GDM daemon is now
better managed to better ensure that sockets are never left open.
This work also makes gdmsetup start faster. (Brian Cameron)
- Corrected bug that causes a core dump when you click on gdmgreeter
fields that have an id. (Brian Cameron)
- Add new GdmXserverTimeout configuration setting so that the length of
time GDM waits for the Xserver to start can be tuned, so GDM better
works with Xservers that require more than 10 seconds to start.
(Emilie)
- The happygnome and happygnome-list gdmgreeter themes now use the
official logo. (Brian Cameron)
- Now GDM configure supports --with-sysconfsubdir so that GDM's
configuration directory can be configured to not have "/gdm" appended
to the end. (Julio M. Merino Vidal)
- Fix for ensuring .ICEauthority file has proper ownership/permissions.
Addresses CVE-2006-1057. (Hans Petter Jansson)
- Fix "Show Actions Menu" section in gdmsetup so it appears when both
"Plain" and "Themed" style is chosen. (Brian Cameron, Dennis
Cranston)
- Now use LINGUAS procedure for defining languages. (Michiel Sikkes)
- Now Xsession script uses "$@" instead of "$1" so it is possible to
pass arguments with the command to run. (Brian Cameron)
- Add Trusted Solraris support. (Niall Power)
- One line fix to Solaris auditing logic that fixes a bug causing
authentication to fail when auditing is turned on. (Brian Cameron)
- Fixes to compile with C99 and fixes to compile under NetBSD.
Remove EXPANDED_* variables from the configure. (Julio M. Merino
Vidal)
- Translation updates (\305\275ygimantas Beru\304\215ka, Beno\303\256t

Tommi Vainikaninen)
2.8.0.7 stuff:
- Changes to peeking VT freeness in 2.13.0.1 broke
virtual terminal support on BSD. This release
corrects this problem. (Brian Cameron)
- Correct Linux get VT logic so it returns the
correct VT. (Frederic Crozat)
- Now gdmlogin always uses GDK_RGB_DITHER_MAX
when painting the background to ensure a nice
background regardless of X configuration
(e.g. X in 16bpp mode). (Frederic Crozat)
- Now check for Xserver in prefix /usr.
(J\303\274rg Billeter)
- Fix configure for Darwin. (dmacks@netspace.org)
- Fix compiler warnings. (Frederic Crozat,
dmacks@netspace.org, Brian Cameron)
- Ensure gnome.desktop and default.desktop have
644 perms. (Andrew Benton)
- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, Runa Bhattacharjee,
Dan Damian, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Inaki Larranaga,
Priit Laes, Roozbeh Pournader, Alexander Shopov, Marcel
Telka, Miloslav Trmac)
2.8.0.6 stuff:
- Fix problem with PostSession script not always
getting executed when user kills the Xserver
with ctrl-alt-backspace. This is caused because
an xioerror is generated when the clients are
killed and this needs to be ignored for the
PostSession script to be processed. This problem
tended not to manifest in GDM 2.6 since the
call to kill the clients was made earlier.
However, it was still a race condition in 2.6
and this fix ensures that the slave will never
exit too early. (Jerry G. DeLapp)
- The "OK" and "Cancel" buttons in gdmlogin and
gdmgreeter now work consistantly. Now the gdmlogin
"Cancel" button is active when the Username is
requested and pressing it just clears the field, so
it works like gdmgreeter. Also fixed a bug in
gdmgreeter where a user could corrupt gdmgreeter's
memory by hitting cancel after authentication, which
could only happen if the PostLogin script caused a
long enough delay to allow this to happen.
(Brian Cameron)
- No longer set tooltips for menu items in gdmlogin.
They are distracting and do not work with
accessibility. No GNOME programs use menu tooltips
and it is not recommend. (Brian Cameron)
- If slave does not respond to a SIGTERM, try a
SIGKILL the second time. This resolves a problem
where GDM sometimes stops managing a display
because it just keeps waiting for the slave to
die. See bug #113902. (Vaclav Smilauer).
- GDM now uses VT_GETSTATE for peeking VT freeness
- Now GDM warns correctly about caps lock if an
alternate keymap is enabled. kbGetState is used
instead of XkbGetIndicator State.
(Sebastien Bacher)
- Now set cursor and watch as soon as GTK+ is
initialized and the configure file read, which
shortens the amount of time the backgrounds is
Xserver default grey. Cleaned up the code so
that all programs use a common function to set the
background. (Brian Cameron)
- Fix reading of config file in gdmflexiserver so
it properly reads in the available servers.
(Christiaan Welvaart)
- Fixed race condition where a variable used by
the signal handlers was not being set until after
the signal handlers were setup. Now it is set
before avoiding a race. (Simon Bowden/Brian
Cameron)
- Define SoundProgram to be /usr/bin/autoplay on
Solaris instead of /usr/bin/play, since
/usr/bin/play doesn't exist on Solaris.
- Check for XInput fixed in configure and add a
check for libgen.h to avoid compiler warnings.
(Brian Cameron)
- Updated check in configure for socklen_t so it
includes sys/socket.h to better support BSD
platforms that define socklen_t there.
(dmacks@netspace.org)
- No longer link vicious-extensions with the gesture
listeners, since they don't use vicious-extensions.
- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, Runa Bhattacharjee,
Dan Damian, Maxim Dziumanenko, Laurent Dhima,
Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Priit Laes, Inaki Larranaga,
Roozbeh Pournader, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Christian
Rose, Ivar Smolin, Marcel Telka, Ilkka Tuohela, Miloslav
Trmac)
- This release fixes a nasty bug which was causing the
/etc/gdm/Xsession file to always use /bin/ksh. This
caused problems on Linux, where it should be /bin/sh.
It now is only /bin/ksh on Solaris builds. (Brian
Cameron)
- seteuid/setegid logic in the GDM slave logic has been
made more sane. This was causing problems running GDM2
on NetBSD (refer to bug #301821). (Julio M. Merino Vidal)
- Minor correction to Solaris audit logic. (Gary Winiger)
- Updated autogen.sh so it now works with automake > 1.4.
- No longer use C99 features that do not work with gcc 2.95,
specifically do not declare variables except at the
beginning of a block. (Jens Granseuer)
- Corrected configure script so it works with pkgconfig
0.17.2. The new pkgconfig broke the build on Solaris
since it no longer allows the linker to pull in libraries
that are implicitely included. Now all libraries are
explicit.
- References to libgnome removed from vicious-extensions,
so it no longer depends on libgnome. It now depends
directly on i18n libraries. (Andrew Case)
- The gesture listeners now log debug messages to syslog
instead of stdout, and debug can now be turned on by
setting the GDM_DEBUG_GESTURES environment variable
rather than needing to recompile with debug. This makes
it much easier to debug issues. (Brian Cameron)
- Leaks fixed (Kjartan Maraas)
- Corrections to docs (Andrew Case, Martin Petersen)
Interface Changes:
- Now gdm, gdm-binary, gdmsetup are installed to /sbin and
gdmchooser, gdmgreeter, gdmlogin are installed to /libexec.
This better conforms to UNIX recommend installation locations.
The gdmconfig and gdmXnest symlinks have been removed since
they were redundant. Distributions will need to modify the
way GDM programs are launched to reflect these changes.
(Brian Cameron)
- gdm.conf and GdmSetup now use the DefaultWelcome and
DefaultRemoteWelcome keys to specify if the default message should
be used. Now the Welcome and RemoteWelcome keys are empty
by default. This is to avoid putting strings that are translated
in the gdm.conf file. Users that want to use a non-default
welcome string will need to ensure that DefaultWelcome and/or
DefaultRemoteWelcome are set to false. (Brian Cameron)
- Now users to be included in the face browser need to be
identified using the gdm.conf "Include" configure option or the
"Face Browser" tab in gdmsetup. Previously, GDM parsed the
system's password file for a complete list of users and excluded
userid's listed in the gdm.conf "Exclude" configure option.
This behavior did not work well on systems that use NIS for
storing passwords. This previous behavior may be turned back
on by setting the gdm.conf "IncludeAll" configure option to
"true". (Brian Cameron)
- xevie Xserver extension is now turned on by default on Linux for
better a11y support.
- /bin/ksh is used in the GDM2 Xsession script on Solaris. Since
this script sources the user's $HOME/.profile, ksh works better
if the profile has bash/ksh style syntax. (Brian Cameron)
Other Changes:
- Fix so GDM works better on BSD and MacOS. Upon getting EOF on
socket/pipe/etc. G_IO_IN is always set and G_IO_HUP may not be
set. Therefore, if a length <= 0 is returned from read(), the
socket is closed. This prevents gdm2 from causing high CPU-load
after logout. (Joe Marcus Clarke)
- Now support "session migration" using DMX. Refer to docs.
(Mark McLoughlin)
- Now support "Dynamic Xservers". Refer to docs. (Bob Terek)
- The background colors used in gdmgreeter's Face Browser in can now
be themed using the <color iconcolor="" "labelcolor=""> syntax.
The Face Browser now shrinks so it is the same size as the treeview
so extra white space isn't shown. (Brian Cameron)
- To better conform to the Usability Guide, gdmlogin and gdmgreeter
now supports an "OK" button which functions the same as hitting
<Return> and a Cancel button which allows the user to go back to
the "Username" prompt without having to enter an invalid password.
(Brian Cameron)
- The Face Browser usability has been improved. Now the user can
select a different face without having to enter an invalid
password. Single-clicking on the face takes the user to Password
entry. The cancel button can be used to get back to "Username"
entry. (Brian Cameron)
- GDM now ships with a collection of default faces installed to
datadir/pixmaps/faces. (Jaap A. Haitsma)
- Support for ratio scaling of SVG images. (Vincent Untz)
- Better left-handed support. Now right and left mouse buttons can
be used in all GDM windows/dialogs/etc. (Brian Cameron)
- Now can use XDMCP from Xnest session. (Leena Gunda)
- Now login success/failure sounds can be selected in gdm.conf or
in the Accessibility tab of gdmsetup. (Andrew Case,
Mark McLoughlin)
- Now "random theme" can be selected in the gdm.conf file or
gdmsetup to allow a different theme to be used for each login.
(Andrew Case)
- Now support background programs that are started after a timedelay
and can be restarted after a delay. Useful for running a
screensaver at login time. (Laurent Birtz)
- gdmphotosetup has been improved so it now scales the face image
to GDM's max icon size before saving it. By default it looks
in datadir/pixmaps/faces to find face images. (Brian Cameron)
- <Control>-U may now be used to clear the entry field. Now <Tab>
works like <Enter> in the login screen. (Brian Cameron)
- gdmflexiserver now supports the GET_CONFIG command, so that other
programs can access the GDM configuration data in a stable fashion.
This is useful for other programs that might want to know what the
system suspend/halt/reboot command is or what the max icon size for
creating gdm2 face images, etc. (Brian Cameron)
- Flexiserver commands are now sent as a single call to
gdm_connection_write or gdm_connection_printf rather than building
commands and sending them in pieces. Fixes bug #158799.
(Brian Cameron)
- Now gesture listener configuration files specify AT programs by
full PATH (default EXPANDED_BINDIR). This can be overridden via
the --with-at-bindir configure option. Since AT programs are
launched as user gdm2, it is more secure to not depend on PATH.
(Brian Cameron)
- Now use more sensible arguments for starting magnifier.
(Bill Haneman)
- gdmsetup Now has a separate tab for configuring the Face Browser,
and for configuring the Xserver. Now the checkboxes for turning
on the Face Browser and XDMCP are on the Security tab. The
Face Browser and XDMCP tabs are insenitive if they are not
enabled. Now users can turn on/off Theme menu choice for gdmlogin
in the Accessibility tab. Can turn on/off debug in the Security
tab. RemoteWelcome is insensitive if XDMCP is not enabled.
Better mnemonics. (Brian Cameron, Andrew Case)
- GDM now no longer uses deprecated widgets. The new file selection
widget is used (which no longer core dumps if you click on the
sidebars). GtkComboBox and GtkComboBoxEntry are used instead
of GtkEntry and GtkOptionMenu (Brian Cameron)
- gdmthemetester now uses gdmwhich instead of which, so it works
better on Solaris. (Brian Cameron)
- Timed login message is displayed in a separate label on gdmlogin
which avoids problems caused because different things were trying
to use the same label for status messages. Reorganized gdmlogin
screen so it no longer should resize as it is being used.
(Brian Cameron)
- The max size of the username/password entry is now set to
PAM_MAX_RESP_SIZE to allow long username/password entry. If
PAM is not set, it is defaulted to 256. (Brian Cameron,
Ali Akcaagac)
- Now dialogs that ask the user if they want to change their default
language/session have a Cancel button so the user can return to
the login screen. (Brian Cameron)
- Theme save remembers where the last theme was installed and opens
to that location. Also fixed bug which was causing *.tar theme
files to not install properly. (Brian Cameron)
- No longer rely on Xserver physical screen geometry which sometimes
causes text to be too big or too small. Now use gdk/pango functions
to get root window resources. (Ray Strode)
- Better sorting of session names in the Session menu. (Ray Strode)
- Remove gdm_debug from signal handlers since they aren't safe in
signal handlers (Mark McLoughlin)
- Many strings, docs, README's have been improved. Better wording,
better grammar. (Brian Cameron, Seb Wills, Adam Weinberger, Abel
Cheung, Kjartan Maraas, Danilo \305\240egan, Nicholas Skehin)
- Many translation improvements. Entries in the language list
now show their encoding so you no longer see what appear to be
identical entries in the language list. (Nikos Charonitakis,
Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Priit Laes, David Lodge, Jordi Mallach,
Kjartan Maraas, Gareth Owen, Ahmad Riza H Nst, Kostas Papadimas,
Francisco Javier F. Serrador, Danilo \305\240egan,
Alexander Shopov, \303\205smund Skj\303\246veland,
Clytie Siddall, Miloslav Trmac, Tommi Vainikainen, Funda Wang,
Adam Weinberger)
- gi18n.h is used instead of libgnome header files.
(Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair)
- Some cleanup (Brian Cameron, Mark McLoughlin)
- Use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
- Patch gdm.conf.in directly from the Makefile using subst.mk, instead of
doing it from a patch _and_ the Makefile.
- Do not register the rc.d script in the PLIST (handled automatically).
- Under NetBSD (and OpenBSD), use /sbin/shutdown to reboot and halt the
computer, instead of reboot and poweroff. The former runs the rc.d
scripts properly while the other two don't.
anymore).

user who's pw_passwd is set to "*". NetBSD gives all users "*", same if
shadow passwords are used on Linux, Solaris etc. Commenting out that part
makes the face-browser work. (I'll submit this to the gdm-folks, as well.)
Change pid-file from /var/run/xdm.pid to /var/run/gdm.pid now that we have
our own ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/gdm script.
Bump PKGREVISION.
