The GNOME 2.x Display Manager - - Bug Id #21407: correct wrong spelling of UTF-8 locale names in /etc/opt/gnome2/gdm/locale.alias. de_DE.utf8 was used instead of de_DE.UTF-8 etc., but de_DE.utf-8 is not supported by X11. Although de_DE.utf8 and de_DE.UTF-8 is the same as far as glibc is concerned, the correct spelling is important for X11. - - Bug Id #21408: When using gdm2 the usual intialization file of an X session, i.e. ~/.xinitrc, ~/.xsession, ~/.Xmodmap ~/.xim etc. were not read. Because of this, inputservers for CJK languages did not start automatically and other default settings were not correct either. I fixed this by improving /etc/opt/gnome2/gdm/Sessions/Default to exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession with the arguments $WINDOWMANGER and $GDM_LANG. This makes the default behaviour when using gdm2 the same as when using kdm or xdm.
A library for the handling of TrueType fonts Fix for Bug Id #21268: fix serious typo in sfdriver.c which crashes dia in some circumstances. This is a fix from the upstream CVS.
