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.
