218. By Martin Pitt on 2011-04-27

Add 44_xsession-errors_symlink.patch: Don't rename .xsession-errors to
.xsession-errors.old if the file is a symlink. The later code will
truncate the file to zero anyway, so even in that case the file won't grow
indefinitely. (LP: #771661)

Initialize length for XdmcpFill, fixes XDMCP logins (LP: #697112)

216. By Martin Pitt on 2010-09-20

debian/gdm.upstart: Do not already fire on a framebuffer device. When a
real DRM driver gets loaded later on, X will be started too early to catch
it. Cherrypicked from packaging trunk r275. (LP: #615549)

* debian/patches/95_git_name_escaping.patch:

* debian/patches/30_don_t_save_failsafe_session.patch: (LP: #542345)
  - return FALSE instead of exiting on .desktop file without a comment

213. By Sebastien Bacher on 2010-06-09

* The 2.30.2 upstream version introduces new issues so basing a new stable
  updated on the current lucid version with selected changes for now,
  the new version can be uploaded again later once the issues are resolved
* debian/patches/90_git_run_init_script_before_autologin.patch:
  - git change to run the init scripts when autologin is enabled
    (lp: #586503)
* debian/patches/91_git_no_icons_watching.patch:
  - git change to not monitor the user icons, it creates issues with
    some configurations like autofs (lp: #562509) or nfs (lp: #518810)
* debian/patches/92_git_timed_login_user_selection.patch:
  - git change to correct selected the default timed login user (lp: #585574)
* debian/patches/93_git_a11y_label.patch:

[ Martin Pitt ]
* 06_run_xsession.d.patch: Export $USERXSESSION, $USERXSESSIONRC, and
  $ALTUSERXSESSION, so that running the "custom"/"default" sessions actually
  works. Without those, /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup
  decides to run the system default session even if we have the
  "allow-user-xsession" option. This is a prerequisite for fixing LP#398300.

* debian/patches/16_gdmserver_user_manager.patch:
* debian/patches/24_system_uid.patch:
  - Update to match IncludeAll behaviour in greeter (LP: #471542)

212. By Martin Pitt on 2010-04-28

* New upstream bug fix release:
  - Accessibility is now enabled by default for the GDM login screen.
  - When the face browser is disabled, the PAM conversation is started
    immediately, so users do not need to click a button to start entering
    the username and password. (GNOME #591082)
  - Add label-for and labelled-by a11y relations to the entry field in the
    login GUI. This makes the login GUI more accessible when using AT programs.
    (GNOME #613434).
  - Fixed bugs that were causing XDMCP to not show the greeter again after
    logout. (GNOME #606724).
  - The default XDMCP PingIntervalSeconds was increased from 15 to
    60 seconds.
  - The WINDOWPATH environment variable is now set for the user session.
    (GNOME #609272)
  - Ensure Init script is called when using Automatic Login. (GNOME #614488)
  - Fix race condition with Timed Login. (GNOME #614062)
  - Drop xhost localuser:gdm and localuser:root when the user session starts.
    (GNOME #605350)
  - Removed the icon monitor from the GDM login GUI since it was not functional
    and was causing problems with automounting user's $HOME directories.
    (GNOME #609321, LP: #518810)
  - Do not mark "%x" for translation. (GNOME #613306)
  - Remove duplicated strings for translation. (GNOME #609179)
  - Minor doc corrections.
  - Translation updates.
* 04_fix_external_program_directories.patch, 99_autoreconf.patch: Refresh
  for new upstream version.
* Add 34_disable_a11y_default.patch: Revert upstream change between 2.30.0
  and 2.30.1 to enable a11y by default. This wasn't tested and isn't
  appropriate for an SRU.
* 06_run_xsession.d.patch: Export $USERXSESSION, $USERXSESSIONRC, and
  $ALTUSERXSESSION, so that running the "custom"/"default" sessions actually
  works. Without those, /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup
  decides to run the system default session even if we have the
  "allow-user-xsession" option. This is a prerequisite for fixing LP#398300.
  Also update the patch tag header to comply to DEP-3.
* Add debian/xsession.desktop: Add a new session type "~/.xsession" which
  will run ~/.xsession (Exec=default will be interpreted by the
  20x11-common_process-args and 50x11-common_determine-startup Xsession.d
  scripts). If the admin sets "allow-user-xsession" to False, this will
  launch the system default session instead. (LP: #398300)

* debian/patches/14_guest_session.patch:
  - enable switching to guest session corresponsding to current one (ie UNE if
    you are in UNE session and gnome if you are in GNOME session)

210. By Robert Ancell on 2010-04-13

* debian/patches/29_switch_user.patch:
  - Deselect user when cancelling user switch (LP: #532531)

209. By Didier Roche-Tolomelli on 2010-03-31

* debian/patches/09_gdmsetup.patch:
  - do not list users who have an encrypted home directory for autologin
    candidate (still some corner case, see code comment). (LP: #353446)
