Problem description

This release fixes wrong spelling of UTF-8 locale names in the gdm
locale.alias file.
And the usual intialization files of an X session, i.e. ~/.xinitrc,
~/.xsession, ~/.Xmodmap, etc. are not longer ignored by gdm2, which
prevents inputservers and other settings from being started
automatically.
