4.51. gdm
Updated gdm packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) is a highly configurable reimplementation of XDM, the X Display Manager. GDM allows you to log into your system with the X Window System running and supports running several different X sessions on your local machine at the same time.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#217417
- Previously, the gdmsetup utility did not automatically add users to the user whitelist file /etc/gdm/custom.conf, although these users were configured for automatic login. With this update, the problem has been fixed and users are now automatically added to the whitelist file, as expected.
- BZ#575771
- Previously, the GDM GUI was not properly resized when the failed authentication message was displayed for the user. As a result, the failed authentication message was not displayed correctly. With this update, the problem has been fixed so that the GUI is resized properly and the message is displayed as expected.
- BZ#658506
- When shutting down the X Window System, the gdm-rh-security-token-helper program could have terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault under certain circumstances. With this update, the problem has been fixed, and gdm-rh-security-token-helper works as expected.
All users of GDM are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
