    	* daemon/gdm.c, daemon/slave.c, daemon/auth.c: change some
    	  g_strconcat's to g_build_filename's to address #118040.
    	  still more need to be converted
    
    	* gdm.spec.in, daemon/gdm.h, config/gdm.conf.in, config/Makefile.am,
    	  configure.in: By default use logdir of /var/log/gdm just
    	  like redhat does it
    
    	* daemon/gdm.c: check logdir to exist and if not set it to
    	  ServAuthDir
    
    	* gdm.spec.in, daemon/gdm.c, config/Makefile.am:  Make the
    	  ServAuthDir permissions to be 1770 with owenership root.gdm.
    	  That makes it impossible for the gdm user to run DoS attacks
    	  against the gdm daemon (though without any process limits set
    	  it can still somewhat do that)
    
    	* daemon/slave.c, daemon/display.c, daemon/gdm.c, daemon/misc.c,
    	  daemon/server.c: Hunt more races and hangs.  Make sure we really
    	  don't do anything bad in signal handlers by making a setjmp
    	  at the beginning of the slave_start function and returning
    	  there from signal handlers to do final cleanup kind of stuff.
    	  Also when we are receiving TERM signals while waiting on stuff
    	  to die, be very un-nice to things and SIGKILL them.  Also stop
    	  using sleep if we might be using alarm at the same time.
    
    	* daemon/display.c: whack non-useful signal block push on unmanage,
    	  and if we get a TERM signal while waiting on the slave, then send
    	  a TERM signal to the slave again.
    
    	* daemon/errorgui.c: set USER, USERNAME and LOGNAME to "gdm" so that
    	  they don't end up root by some mistake
    
    	* daemon/slave.c: Use home of root rather then /root for the home
    	  directory of gdmsetup.  Also if we can't change to the home
    	  directory chdir to / instead of leaving it at servauthdir.
    	  Be anal about COOKIEs in the logfile.  Also when things go
    	  just a bit wrong and not completely whacko, don't ABORT but
    	  just REMANAGE, the toplevel loop of death will handle things
    	  for us correctly.  And setsid a very close to the start of
    	  the session to avoid a race ABORTing a display by mistake.
    
    	* daemon/slave.c: make the PostLogin behave just like PostSession
    	  with respect to the return value
    
    	* daemon/verify-pam.c: avoid races on termination with the
    	  verify_cleanup and handle some cases where crashes may (but
    	  should not) occur.
    
    	* daemon/gdm.c: whack unneeded signal blockers (the main daemon
    	  is all async with a nice mainloop)
    
    	* gui/gdmchooser.c: handle HUP gracefully, when one of the
    	  config options we care about changes just restart self
    	  instead of
    
    	* gui/gdmlogin.c, gui/greeter/greeter_item_ulist.c: make
    	  the username bold
    
    	* docs/C/gdm.xml: update the PostLogin behaviour and the permissions
    	  on the ServAuthDir
