It might be nice to update the default GDM theme from circles to
something more cool.  I know most distros replace the default theme,
but might be nice for GDM itself to have a newer default theme.
Any suggestions for the 2.20 release?  For submission I would
require the theme have the full SystemMenu implemented (either with
an Options button which simply shows them all, or via separate buttons 
for each SystemMenu option).

There were quite a few patches submitted to GDM that came too late to
make it into 2.18, so right now I'm working to get those upstream.

- Lots of code cleanup, including getting rid of vicious-extensions.
- Making the GDM language selection allow restart in the selected
   language
- revamp of the mechanism GDM uses to update configuration changes
   in the login GUI
- allowing people to specify additinal Xserver arguments in the session
   desktop file to allow you to make sessions for particular use cases
   that might require (for example) a special non-default Xserver
   extension.
- Xephyr has also been integrated to replace Xnest, and works much
   better.
- I have also been working with a fellow who is planning to make
   the Face Browser work much more nicely, so that might also make
   it into 2.19.
- There has been some work to make a high-contrast gdmgreeter theme.
   Hopefully will work out those issues and get this upstream.

I think those are the main things I'm working on right now.  Also
working to reduce the overall number of GDM bugs.

Brian
