* SECURITY UPDATE: race condition allowing privilege escalation
  - debian/patches/27_CVE-2011-0727.patch: fix
    daemon/gdm-session-worker.c to copy files as session user rather
    than root followed by a subsequent chown.
  - CVE-2011-0727

167. By Robert Ancell on 2009-10-20

* New upstream release (LP: #455944)
  - GDM will now avoid calling XAddHosts for remote connections.
  - Now GDM uses DeviceKit-power instead of gnome-power-manager for Suspend
    support.
  - Now the at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop GDM autostart file will run
    at-spi-registryd directly instead of calling at-spi-registryd-wrapper.
  - Fix to the visibility check for the "Other" button which corrects some
    situations where the button would not appear when it was supposed to.
  - Now the GDM daemon will make the /var/log/gdm directory if it does not
    exist.
  - Fixes to avoid autologin failure when a NULL username is passed in.
  - Restore CTYPE when canonicalizing codesets.
  - Several fixes to avoid warnings.
* debian/patches/18_create_log_dir_when_required.patch:
* debian/patches/21_dkpower.patch:

* debian/%gconf-tree.xml, debian/gdm.postinst, debian/rules:
  - don't use gconftool to register the default gconf keys but rather
    install a xml files with the values, that will avoid different issues
    due to the su call or the gconf server not being running
    (lp: #441028, #441167)
  - set the gnome-power-manager icon key to never since that's not useful
    on the login screen and the design team recommended to not have it there
* debian/gdm.postinst:
  - workaround chown breaking due to the .gvfs fuse directory (lp: #438561)
* debian/patches/25_update_gconf_directories.patch:
  - define a new directory which is used for the default gconf values

* debian/patches/24_system_uid.patch:
* debian/patches/16_gdmserver_user_manager.patch:
  - Fix more cases of users with UID < 1000

164. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-10-14

163. By Robert Ancell on 2009-10-13

* debian/patches/23_login_window_hint.patch:
  - Don't put a type hint on the login window as this causes it not to get
    focus (LP: #447049)

  - Don't show users with UID < 1000 (LP: #427462)

162. By Martin Pitt on 2009-10-07

debian/gdm.postinst: Set icon theme to HumanLoginIcons. Also, call su just
once with all four gconftool commands instead of several times.

161. By Kees Cook on 2009-10-06
